Sam Kass, executive director of First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign against childhood obesity and White House nutrition adviser, held a strategy session with advocates for healthier school meal rules late Friday afternoon, Obama Foodorama reported.

Amy Rosenbaum, a deputy assistant to the president for legislative affairs, joined Kass on the call to child health advocates, school nutrition professionals, parents, and school leaders from across the country, Obama Foodorama said.

The call followed Thursday’s House Appropriations Committee vote to require USDA to grant one-year waivers from the new rules to any school that says its meals program has been losing money for six months. and Kass assured the advocates that the first lady will continue to lead the charge to defend the rules.
