Child Nutrition Act Passes! AHA - Advocacy You Are the Cure

Proper nutrition and physical activity are two ways to help prevent CVD and Stroke. On December 2nd, the House of Representatives passed the Child Nutrition Act, by a vote of 264 to 157! This action completes Congress’ work on the bill and sends it to the President’s desk to be signed into law.

We can all be proud that the final bill contains provisions that will help ensure a healthier school environment for our kids, including removing junk foods from schools, strengthening school wellness policies and increasing funding for more nutritious school lunches.
