Political Factoid
Politicians favor corporate profits
over children's health.
- Congress declared that pizza with
tomato sauce would count as a
vegetable to ensure that pizza would
would remain a mainstay in the
school lunch program.
- Congress killed a plan proposed by four
federal agencies to reduce the sugar,
salt and fat content in food marketed
primarily to children.
- Half the states halted their efforts to
discourage consumption of sugary
drinks with "soda taxes."
Never underestimate the power of lobbyists,
advertising, and campaign contributions
from special interest groups.
