Schools could get grants to offer plant-based meals and nondairy milk options.
This bill would create two new programs to help schools offer more food choices. It would set aside money for schools to provide 100% plant-based meals and to cover the cost of nondairy milk substitutes. It also lets students directly ask for dietary changes for medical or special dietary needs.
Today, federal law requires schools to offer fluid milk, and dietary substitutions usually need a doctor's note or parent's request for disabilities. There's no specific federal program for plant-based meals. If this bill passes, schools could get grants to offer 100% plant-based meals and nondairy milk. Students could also directly ask for dietary changes for a wider range of needs. This includes reasons like religious or moral convictions.
