9.D.12) Establish standards for healthy snacks and beverages in schools

The Department of Public Health must establish healthy standards for snacks and beverages sold in vending machines, school stores, and cafeteria ala carte lines. This should include the replacement of sodas in school cafeterias with healthier alternatives, such as low-fat milk and water; the requirement that fresh fruit and vegetables are made available in all school cafeterias; and the limitation of fat and sugars in snacks to a healthy amount. 

12.a    Pass “An Act to Promote Proper School Nutrition” or equivalent legislation which would require healthy standards for drinks and snacks sold in public schools.
