Of course, local school administrators can put commercial propaganda in their schools if they wish. That's for them to decide. School administrators shouldn't be allowed to have it both ways. They shouldn't be able to take federal money for school lunches, and then take money or products from corporations to subvert the purposes of the lunch program. Actions have consequences, and that applies as much to school administrators as to anyone else.
Federal taxpayers deserve better, and so do the nation's youth.
Contact the members of the Senate and House Agriculture Committees that represent your state. Please tell them to get the public schools to carry out the healthful intent of the National School Lunch Program and stop promoting junk food to schoolchildren. Commercial Alert opposes the excesses of commercialism, marketing and advertising.
