"I am pleased the President has signed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 into law. Chairman Lincoln and I worked together to craft a comprehensive child nutrition package that received broad bipartisan support in the Senate. The plan includes additional resources to improve the quality of meals served through the National School Lunch Program, as well as addresses the nutrition environment throughout the entire school campus.
