JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) – A bill was proposed by four Arkansas House members that would permanently
lift the cap on proteins and grains put into place by the USDA.
Congressman Rick Crawford and three other
Arkansas House members--Tim Griffin, Steve Womack and Tom Cotton-- are
introducing legislation to alter the National School Lunch Program and School
Breakfast Program.
This new measure is called the "Sensible
School Lunch Act. In October, 2012 Congessman Rick Crawford held a school lunch
roundtable discussion right here in Jonesboro. From the feedback he got at that
meeting, helped launch this new proposal.
Crawford told Region 8 News Tuesday the legislation
it proposes "flexibility" in meeting nutritional guidelines.
"Just as an example, there's a 13-year-old
8th grader that can't eat any more protein than a 5-year-old
Kindergartner. That just doesn't make
any sense. Then you have the same thing
you have an active high school senior playing football would get no more
protein or grain than a less active 14-year-old ninth grader", said Crawford in
a phone interview.
Congressman Crawford also
said he believes the bill would apply some common sense to the current program.
The House bill is a
companion to bipartisan legislation introduced in the U.S. Senate by Senators
John Hoeven and Mark Pryor.
A Nashville judge has permanently suspended the public guardian of Davidson County while citing "significant concerns" that she charged excessive fees to the elderly and disabled people she is supposed to protect.
