Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act signed today (Dec. 13) Washington, D.C. public school

from Obama Food-o-rama (blog here at Google Blogger)

During a special ceremony starting at 10:25 AM at Washington, DC's Harriet Tubman Elementary School, the President will sign into law the groundbreaking Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. Both the President and First Lady will make remarks at the event, and it will be live streamed at WhiteHouse.gov/live. The bill is without question the most historic child nutrition legislation to emerge from this or any other administration in decades.

That's not just laudatory overstatement. The bill's hard-won elements, backed by a huge, varied, bipartisan coalition, create some of the biggest changes in school nutrition and federal feeding programs in more than forty years. As a pillar of Mrs. Obama's Let's Move! campaign, it is a crucial advancement of the Obama Administration’s goal of solving the problem of childhood obesity within a generation.
