Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, and Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan., have re-introduced their bill to repeal the USDA rule implementing the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act that sets caloric limits on what children are served in public schools.
King and Huelskamp also say that their bill “protects the rights of parents to send their children to school with the foods of their choice.”
USDA officials have said that the rule’s caloric limits are not that different from what children were eating previously, and that the new rule is needed to fight childhood obesity.
