House Democrats slammed the administration Monday for walking back healthy school meal standards promoted by former first lady Michelle Obama
Democratic Reps. Jim McGovern (Mass.), Rosa DeLauro (Conn.) and Chellie Pingree (Maine) called Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdues first actions as head of the Department of Agriculture disappointing.
Just days into his new job as Secretary of USDA, Secretary Perdue has decided to put special interests ahead of the health of Americas children, DeLauro said in a statement.
School meal nutrition standards were enacted, on a bipartisan basis, to bring school meals up to date with the latest nutrition science ensuring that our children have healthy options on their plates. However, the USDA and President Trump have now decided to roll back much of the progress we have made in the fight against rates of childhood obesity and malnutrition."
