Update: On December 13, 2010 President Obama signed the Healthy, Hungry-Free Kids Act into law. It contained several important improvements to the National School Lunch program: increased reimbursements, stronger nutrition guidelines and mandatory funding for Farm to School programs.
Whether you signed our petition, emailed or called your legislators, attended one of over 300 'Eat Ins' in all 50 states, donated to the Time For Lunch campaign, or even talked to your neighbors about the issue, your actions will mean children across the country get safer, healthier food!
The Time for Lunch campaign is a project of Slow Food USA. We're a network of citizens working to make good, clean and fair food available to everyone. Join us.

Tens of thousands of citizens asked legislators to invest in healthier food, strengthen nutrition standards and link schools to local farms when Congress updated School Lunch rules. Read our policy goals.
The Time for Lunch Campaign launched with a National Day of Action that brought 20,000 people together at more than 300 Eat-Ins nationwide. Check out the photos.
