“With 28 million children eating lunch at school every day in the United States, I believe government has an obligation to ensure parents have some peace of mind when they send their children off to school in the morning, .. Since children are particularly vulnerable to foodborne illness, schools must be vigilant in their efforts to ensure that cafeterias are not putting children at risk. These changes in law will support parents who want to work with school principals and food-service directors to ensure a safe environment.” WantMindBelieveChildrenStatesGovernmentSchoolLawI BelieveParentUnitedEffortMorningMillionsUnited StatesSupportEnvironmentRiskDirectorsSafeEatingIllnessObligationVulnerablePeace Of MindLunchPrincipalIn-lawsVigilantCafeteriaSafe EnvironmentFood ServiceSchool PrincipalEating Lunch Author:Rosa DeLauro

“I've never acted before in a movie I've directed. This felt like the time to do it just because the " Leaves of Grass" movie itself is so much of a platform for the lead actor.
