Where did this come from? I thought there wasn’t supposed to be any legislation getting through until the tax bill was voted on.

STOP! Child Nutrition Act a scam

Aug. 2, 2010 — looks like they passed it under the radar

http://www.examiner.com/conservative-in-minneapolis/stop-child-nutrition-act-a-scam

Some tidbits of info from HR 5504

The word “energy” is used 7 times. “Energy Star” is mentioned twice. (Energy Star was created by John S. Hoffman under the Clinton administration. Hoffman helped make Energy Star a part of the EPA after securing a patent on high efficiency turbine products and is a partner of WorkSmart Energy Enterprises.) Why the focus on energy use in a nutrition bill?

Section 246 on page 170 outlines the “Green Cafeterias Pilot Program.” Why isn’t this its own new bill?

The bill establishes new grants for school districts that enact higher oil, grease, and fat recycling as well as purchase Energy Star qualified products.

Subtitle C beginning on page 149 adds the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Section 231 provides breastfeeding support in the WIC program.
