Veg School Lunch Action

On April 21, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) is sponsoring a School Lunch Lobbyist Call-In Day, encouraging citizens nationwide to phone their Congresspersons in support of the Healthy School Meals Act of 2010. The bill would provide financial incentives for school districts to offer plant-based meal options and dairy-free drinks. PCRM invites school-lunch activists to participate not only as individuals, but also to organize in-home, after-school call-in parties, motivating working parents and students to support the cause. While PCRM calls upon parents, teachers, and school children to speak up for the Healthy School Meals Act, it also asks ordinary citizens to stand up for the right for all children to have access to nutritious foods.
