Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) Supports Nutrition Standards for Foods and Beverages Sold in Schools The OAC is one of more than 100 groups supporting the Harkin/Murkowski School Nutrition Amendment to the Farm Bill, which establishes the types of food and beverage products that may be offered for sale in schools. The Amendment seeks to ensure that healthier food and beverages are offered for sale in schools across the country. For more information on the Harkin/Murkowski School Nutrition Amendment, please see the following links:
The OAC is encouraging all members to contact their Senators (we are currently focused on the Senate only) and encourage their support of the Amendment either through phone, fax, mail or e-mail. To find your Senator, visit www.congress.org. We also encourage you to provide copies of your correspondence to the OAC. |
