I have followed the progress of this group for many years and while they are

not raw yet they are making great progress in promoting vegan ana vegetarian

lifestyles.

 

Their sister organization is the Cancer Project and through lawsuits, education

and publicity they are doing much good.

 

The lunch program in this country can use an overhaul and petition signatures

are very helpful at this point.

Dear Mr. Milmoe,

 

 

Please sign our petition to revolutionize school lunches with healthful

vegetarian options. American children are amid epidemics of obesity and other

chronic diseases related to diet and lifestyle. Schools need to serve more

healthful vegetarian foods, including plenty of fruits and vegetables.

Unfortunately, the National School Lunch Program makes no provision fo

r plant-based foods.

 

 

Now is the time for action. Congress is revising the Child Nutrition Act, which

determines what foods are served in school lunches. Sign the petition today to

tell Congress that students deserve nutritious foods—more fruits, vegetables,

vegetarian foods, and healthful nondairy beverages. Encouraging Congress to make

healthful changes to the Child Nutrition Act will help lower the rates of

obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer.

 

 

Send this e-mail to students, teachers, friends, and family, and ask them to

take action. If Congress hears from enough of us, we will win this battle. If

you are interested in distributing information on PCRM's Healthy School Lunch

Revolution in the Bay Area, please contact Laura Beck at lbeck.

 

 

Thank you so much for your support, and feel free to contact me at

kstrong if you have any questions.

 

 

Best regards,

 

Kathryn Strong, M.S., R.D.
