I met with the staff of most of the members of Arizona’s congressional delegation Wednesday in Washington DC at an event called Hill Day sponsored by the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation. I used the opportunity to talk to them about nutritional policy issues like boosting the nutritional strength of the foods that are served under the free and reduced lunch programs- and to urge them to consider placing nutritional criteria on the foods that would qualify for reimbursement under the food stamp (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program- SNAP) program.
