Urge Your Representative to Support Vegetarian Options in Schools!

[Guest guest]

Please urge your representative to support increased vegetarian and vegan

options in schools across America! Most kids standing in line in public school

cafeterias have to pick from fat-laden hamburgers, high-calorie chicken fingers,

and greasy, cheesy pizza. Childhood obesity has become an epidemic in America,

and the best way that schools can help their students achieve and maintain a

healthy weight is to drop the chicken nuggets and fish sticks in lieu of

delicious vegetarian and vegan meals.

 

As many as a third of American children are lactose intolerant and/or have

allergies to cow's milk and deserve equally priced nondairy, calcium-rich

beverage options at every meal.

 

By adding more fruits and vegetables and nondairy beverages, schools will reduce

calories and saturated fat in cafeteria meals. Please help provide schools

across America with healthy vegetarian and vegan foods and beverages in school

cafeterias by reaching out to your representative.
