Folks — New Mexico recently joined several other states in establishing a universal school meals program. I’m proud to represent a state that is fighting to make sure every child is fed. We need to build on this progress by giving kids across the country access to nutritious, consistent meals. We know from research that children who take part in school meal programs eat more whole grains, milk, fruits, and vegetables. Giving kids healthy access to school meals is also associated with greater academic success. The Healthy Meals Help Kids Learn Act will help every kid have a healthier diet by increasing the federal school meal reimbursement rate permanently.
Thank you for helping set our country’s kids up for a brighter future. — Martin |
