After watchign teh series Jamie Olivers Food Revolution on ABC. I was thinking how much it relates to the federal bill Ive been following. Jamie is pushing for healthier meals in schools. One of the main problems he faced was being able to budget the higher cost for healthier food. The extra funding taht 3277 would allocate to schools could help offset this cost. Another component of Jamies Revolution is to educate the students on what they are eating. HR 3277 also would address this with its fundign for nutrition education in the schools.
Jamie had success with this in England. He showed that there are clear benefits aside from health factors taht can result from it. Lets hope some of these Congressmen and women have been watching the show.
Here is a link to his Food Revolution Petition.
