The big
snack rules in our house?
Not exact matches
As I reported here back
in March,
House lawmakers were able to insert language
in the Congressional report accompanying the 2014 Omnibus Spending Bill advising USDA to grant schools a one - year waiver on two important new school food requirements: an increase
in fruit served at breakfast and the implementation of the widely lauded «Smart
Snacks in School»
rules.
As I outlined
in a piece for Civil Eats, the
House CNR bill would have seriously undermined key school food provisions, including taking a decidedly anti-science approach to school nutrition standards, significantly limiting the Community Eligibility Provision (which provides free meals to students
in low - income areas without paperwork or stigma) and opening the junk food floodgates on school campuses by gutting the Smart
Snacks rules for competitive food.
I've had a few neighborhood kids I've had to enforce that
rule with at my
house, or else they'd eat through a week's worth of our
snacks in a day or two.
