I support this legislation. Our children deserve real food served at school. We need to invest in the best nutrition for their wellness. We teach them about nutrition and then turn around and serve them junk. Make it make sense. We talk about the rising expense of healthcare costs and yet we fail to take basic proactive actions by serving Iowa students real and nutrient dense foods at school. Nutrition also plays a huge role in behavior.

I AM IN STRONG SUPPORT of this bill. I have a hard time believing opposition to this bill would have anything to do with the actual merits of the bill as much as it does rejecting the opposing parties ideas. That, or one just does not truly understand the harm that comes from consumption of these products in a developing child. The health and wellness of our children while away from home 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 9 months out of the year is of utmost importance to not be contributing to epidemic health concerns affecting the population due to consuming such products. While in the care of our publicly funded institutions they should be fed foods free of proven harm. No brainer
