Facts on Child Nutrition Reauthorization 2010

A press release from U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who sits on the Senate Agriculture Committee reminded me to check in on the Senate's Child Nutrition Reauthorization.

Gillibrand is calling for a ban on trans-fats in school lunches. Others assessing this bill say that the proposal from Senate Ag committee chair Blanche Lincoln (D.-Ark) fails to fund school lunches, meaning cafeterias will continue only to afford the cheapest of food.

Here are some resources that you can read through.
