MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — At the Capitol, a plan for healthier school lunches.
Representative Clint Moses of Menomonie wants to prohibit schools from serving foods containing several additives.
“Labeling has gotten better, but the thing is, people aren’t necessarily aware of what these mean,” Moses said. “I mean, if you look at this legislation, the six additives that we’ve got on there, a lot of them are hard for even someone like myself to pronounce what they are, let alone understand what they truly are.”
Moses chairs the Assembly Health Committee and has introduced the bill with Senate Health Committee chair Rachael Cabral-Guevara of Appleton.
“We are deeply concerned about this and want to do something and show our constituents that we do care about what we’re feeding our kids.”
The Republican lawmakers are seeking co-sponsors for their proposal.
