I shared blog posts that: offered a plaintive farewell to Michelle Obama, a
champion of child nutrition; expressed my deep fears about the fate of hungry kids under President Trump; told you how the current House Freedom Caucus wants to gut school food; introduced you to Trump's Agriculture Secretary, Sonny Perdue; explained that Trump's Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, isn't ending the school lunch program (rumors to the contrary); and analyzed some recent rollbacks to the Obama school
meal nutrition
standards.
The First Lady
championed the transformation of the school food environment through the Healthy, Hunger - Free Kids Act, which updated school
meal nutrition
standards for the first time in 15 years and increased funding for the first time in 30 years.
