Renowned NBA player John Salley recently advocated for more veg-friendly school meals. During an event in Washington, DC, last week, Salley, along with representatives from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, asked Congress to reform the Child Nutrition Act to incorporate more fruits, vegetables, and healthy vegetarian food into school lunches. Speakers argued that improving school lunches is a worthy investment because it will lower US health care costs. “Students need more fruits and vegetables that will help them stay healthy, fit, and ready to learn,” said Salley. “That’s why it’s important for Congress to stay on top of its game by reforming the Child Nutrition Act.”
