Elizabeth<p>The government continuing to fail the nation &amp; our children in nutrition. The US Dietary Guidelines continue to be rubbish that causes obesity, Type 2 diabetes &amp; other serious health issues. Instead of banning books &amp; drag queen storytime, parents should be demanding whole milk &amp; lower carb options for their school age children. I particularly love the comment from the sugar industry. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/schoolnutrition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>schoolnutrition</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/childnutrition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>childnutrition</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/obesity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obesity</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/childhoodillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>childhoodillness</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/parentsrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parentsrights</span></a> <br><a href="https://apnews.com/article/new-school-meal-nutrition-standards-30963aeb9f56aae0ee743c26f1117f19" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apnews.com/article/new-school-</span><span class="invisible">meal-nutrition-standards-30963aeb9f56aae0ee743c26f1117f19</span></a></p>
