Why We Do What We Do

• No nation is any healthier than its children; the well-nourished child is a better student. He is healthier and more
  alert. He is developing good food habits that will benefit him
  for the rest of his life.”—Harry Truman, 1946
  “High quality, flavor, and attractiveness should be the key
  notes of the child nutrition program food policy.”—Mary Bryan,
  1936
•  “In the end, as First Lady, this isn’t just a policy issue. This is
  a passion. This is my mission. I am determined to work with
  folks across this country to change the way a generation of
  kids thinks about food and nutrition.” --Michelle Obama, 2010
