As millions of kids head back to school this fall, Congress is about to begin in earnest the process of deciding what those kids will be eating for years to come.
But the Child Nutrition Reauthorization, which affects many key child nutrition programs beyond school food, can be confusing to those of us outside the Beltway. So today on Civil Eats I give readers a quick rundown on the key players, the timing and what’s really at stake when it comes to the CNR and school food. I hope you’ll take a look!
And be sure to also check out this Editor’s Note from Civil Eats‘ Founder Naomi Starkman on the importance of school food within the larger context of food policy.
