Don’t Schoolchildren Deserve the Option of Healthy Alternatives to Cows’

Milk?

Dear Neil, 

This year, Congress is reauthorizing the Child Nutrition Act, providing us with

a tremendous opportunity to make non-dairy alternatives to cows’ milk

available as an option for children in school cafeterias around the country.

 

Currently, virtually all children participating in the National School Lunch

Program (NSLP) are automatically served cows’ milk, despite the fact that as

many as eight million schoolchildren are lactose intolerant, and countless

others avoid cows’ milk for health, environmental and ethical reasons.

 

Contact your congresspersons today and urge them to support amendments to the

Child Nutrition Act that would make non-dairy alternatives to cows’ milk

readily available to all schoolchildren.

 

Thank you for your compassion,

 

Gene Baur
