Help get junk food money out of school lunch

Support kids’ health, not junk food interests.

Guess who’s funding lobbyists to weaken school lunch?

The School Nutrition Association represents the school food professionals who feed our kids—but their lobbyists are contradicting the science, and trying to take fruits & vegetables off kids’ lunch trays. And guess who’s funding their efforts? Junk food companies.

Take action today!

ACTION ALERT
Support Kids’ Health, Not Junk Food Interests

Meet the School Nutrition Association (SNA), one of the main lobbying groups—funded in part by corporate junk food money—standing in the way of healthier school lunch for kids.

The SNA’s members are the school meal providers who feed children in schools across the country—but their lobbyists aren’t as concerned with the health of our kids as you’d think. Could it be because corporate junk food companies like Domino’s and PepsiCo fund about half of the SNA’s budget?

Shockingly, the SNA opposes improved nutrition standards that would keep fruits and vegetables on kids’ lunch trays. In fact, they’re actively trying to convince Congress that schools can’t make healthy foods work in cafeterias.

But we’ve got what the opposition doesn’t have: evidence that the new nutrition standards—created by scientists and experts, not corporate interests—are working. Most schools have successfully implemented the standards, and studies show that kids are eating more fruits and veggies. UCS’s own analysis reveals that healthier school meals are a lifeline for many kids in a sea of junk food.

With an obesity crisis threatening our children’s future and driving up healthcare costs, the stakes are too high to roll back progress. Send the SNA a message: look out for kids, not the junk food industry.
