In order to reduce the amount of food waste from all school cafeterias, including Kerr Middle School in Burleson, Texas, we are asking to amend the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 to allow schools to be reimbursed for meals without kids choosing at least a half cup of fruit and/or vegetable on their trays. When students are forced to do that, they throw the food away and the food that could be used for other things is wasted in landfills.
