Sign
this Petition: Help Stop Making School Children Sick
with Free Milk
Cow’s
milk is included free with the school lunch program at my grandson
Jaysen’s public grade school. (He takes a bag lunch.) Parents must
pay an extra $.50 daily to have fruit juice as an alternative. His
school is made up of mostly Latino children, which means children
with lactose (milk sugar) intolerance, resulting in diarrhea,
stomach cramps, and gas when they drink milk, free or not. Few of
these families know enough about the health hazards, much less can
afford, to choose an alternative to the free milk.
Read about milk’s role in causing obesity, ear infections, GERD,
constipation, arthritis, and much more suffering in children.
Then
sign
this petition to require dairy alternatives in our school lunch
programs.
The National School Lunch Program
under The Child Nutrition Act is up for reauthorization this year,
2010. With your help we can reach the goal of collecting 10,000
signatures by tomorrow. Add a personal note to let them know how you
really feel.
Thank you,
