May 23, 2014 | 03:50 PM
Sam Kass, the executive director of “Let’s Move,” First Lady Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity campaign, says the White House is ready for the battle over changing the nutrition requirements for school meals, Obama Foodorama reported in an exclusive interview today.
“What the House Republicans have proposed will be absolutely devastating,” said Kass, who also serves as the Obama administration’s nutrition adviser.
“The end result will be dramatically less fruits and vegetables consumed, less whole grain, more sodium consumed . . . and junk food continuing to be in vending machines around the country.”
The White House announced today that First Lady Michelle Obama will meet with school leaders and experts on nutrition issues on Tuesday.
