GREENLIFE CHATTANOOGA SUPPORTS TIME FOR LUNCH

CHATTANOOGA, TN - Greenlife Grocery and the Chattanooga chapter of Slow Food partnered on September 7th for the National Day of Action to tell Congress to provide America’s children with real food at school. More than 250 Eat-Ins in communities across the country were organized to draw attention to the need for real, healthy food for the more than 30 million children who participate in the National School Lunch Program.

The program is part of the Child Nutrition Act that Congress, which is the bill that governs the National School Lunch Program. It’s up for reauthorization in Congress this fall. By passing a Child Nutrition Act that works for children, our nation can take the first step towards a future where no child is denied his or her right to be healthy and where every child enjoys real food.
