In the span of a week, Congress introduced two major school food bills.

1️⃣ On May 13th, Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Ilhan Omar reintroduced the Universal School Meals Program Act, which would make school breakfast and lunch free for all students.

2️⃣On May 20th, the Scratch Cooked Meals for Students Act was reintroduced by Rep Jahana Hayes, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, Congresswoman Julia Brownley, and Senator Adam Schiff. This bill would create a grant program to expand scratch cooking in schools.

Together, these bills present a major opportunity to reduce childhood hunger and improve children’s diets, which now consist of more than 60% ultraprocessed foods.
