Watch: Funny or Die’s School Lunch Pizza Farm
The Pizza Farm, where “healthy” snacks like pepperoni pizza, taquitos, sloppy joes, and fish fingers are “grown,” is a new Funny or Die produced video released today by the American Heart Association.
The satirical video pokes fun at the ongoing efforts of special interest groups that want Congress to weaken school lunch standards.
To learn more about the issue, read “Who’s Making Money from Overweight Kids?” a new Physicians Committee report on how the meat and dairy industry makes money when the U.S. Department of Agriculture and School Nutrition Association promote junk foods—such as nachos, chicken wings, and pepperoni pizza—in school lunches.
As Congress prepares to update the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 2010, which is set to expire on Sept. 30, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine makes recommendations in the report for how lawmakers should decide what kinds of foods children should find in the school lunch line.
