If this is true, this is a really terrible practice. Think how much this will cost the health care system later if these nutrition practices lead to terminal disease in our population later. Poor nutrition for kids can have a snowball effect on the system, child diabetes, mad cow disease decades later..

At my child's school it's about 50% in sw Portland, so nutrition services is barely breaking even. At many schools it's a higher percentage.

I'm a parent of a pps child. I love the idea of local food being served to our students. Why don't Oregon schools get state funding already, why is it only federally funded?
If this bill passed, would sustainable pratcices in the cafeteria, such as the styrofoam lunch trays be addressed too? This is an embarassing part of our school lunch program, in fact, almost as bad a practice as serving chocolate milk and non-local food to kids.
