<description>As a pediatric nurse and nurse practitioner, I see the effects of childhood overweight and obesity on a daily basis.  America's children need all the help that they can get, and this bill is attempting to meet that need by improving their nutrition and physical activity.  I have created a petition to support S. 100, if you would like to sign, the website is:

Let us tell Congress that our children need their support....</description>

<description>There is an old saying that says, &quot;You are what you eat&quot; if we put garbage in then we will in return get garbage from our children. Food is supposed to nourish our bodies and give us not only physical strenghth but mental strenghth as well. This bill is great! Our children are hyperactive and have a hard time concentrating in school but with a healthy diet drastic changes in moods and behaviors will change. They dont need medication, just a change in their eating habits. I strongly support this bill, I feel it is long overdue....</description>

<description>As a professional and a mother of two school-age children I see a need for increased nutrition awareness for our children and educators.  I believe french fries and tater tots do not belong on the lunch menu, this bill will ban foods of minimal nutritional value and provide grants to promote healthy food alternatives.  Statistics show childhood obesity which can lead to diabetes is on the rise and Bill S.100 can prevent this from happening....</description>

<description>As a professional this bill is essential to us making a step in being &quot;proactive&quot; against childhood obesity. This bill covers 2 very valuable factors: nutrition and physical activity. However I wish there was a section for R.D. loan forgiveness....</description>
