La Ley de Ni\u00f1os Saludables y Sin Hambre proporcionar\u00e1 $4.5 mil millones para mejorar el Programa Nacional de Almuerzos Escolares, promover los beneficios para la salud de la lactancia materna y establecer nuevos est\u00e1ndares nutricionales nacionales para ayudar a los ni\u00f1os a comer alimentos m\u00e1s saludables en la escuela.<\/p>\n<p>La ley aumentar\u00e1 la financiaci\u00f3n para el Programa Nacional de Almuerzos Escolares y garantizar\u00e1 que las escuelas puedan cumplir con los nuevos est\u00e1ndares nacionales de nutrici\u00f3n. El proyecto de ley tambi\u00e9n aumentar\u00e1 los fondos para el programa Women Infants Children (WIC), incluido un nuevo programa que promueve los beneficios para la salud de la lactancia materna. <\/p>\n<p>El senador de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, copatrocin\u00f3 dos disposiciones del proyecto de ley. El programa De la granja a la escuela lleva alimentos locales a las cafeter\u00edas y establece huertos escolares. La otra disposici\u00f3n proporciona a los ni\u00f1os de bajos ingresos de todo el pa\u00eds comidas despu\u00e9s de la escuela en lugar de solo un refrigerio.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;La obesidad infantil es una epidemia grave en Estados Unidos y tenemos la obligaci\u00f3n con nuestros ni\u00f1os de mejorar la calidad nutricional de los alimentos que consumen&quot;, dijo Merkley. \u201cSi queremos que nuestros hijos lleven una vida m\u00e1s saludable, debemos brindarles opciones m\u00e1s saludables que los refrescos, las papas fritas y la pizza. Si bien me hubiera gustado ver un mayor apoyo a los programas de nutrici\u00f3n infantil, este proyecto de ley supone mejoras significativas en la comida que servimos a nuestros ni\u00f1os en la escuela\u201d.<br \/><strong><br \/><a href=\"javascript:openWin('http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/x-48203-Medford-City-Buzz-Examiner~y2010m8d9-Senate-advances-legislation-to-reduce-childhood-obesity-and-strengthen-youth-nutrition');\">Leer m\u00e1s \u2013 &gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Senate passed legislation last week aimed at reducing childhood obesity and strengthening programs dedicated to improving childrens&#8217; nutrition.
