Democrats Help Kids to Healthier Snacks
While Bush, Rove, Hastert and other Republican leaders work overtime to cover up their congressional page sexual harassment scandal, Bill Clinton has done something that will actually help children.
(AP) - Snacks sold in U.S. schools will have to cut the fat, sugar and salt under the latest crackdown on junk food won by former President Clinton.
Five months after a similar agreement targeting the sale of carbonated soft drinks in schools, Mr. Clinton and the American Heart Association announced a deal Friday with several major food companies to make school snacks healthier — the latest assault on the nation's childhood obesity epidemic.
The agreement with Kraft Foods Inc., Mars Inc., Campbell Soup Co., Groupe Danone SA and PepsiCo Inc. sets guidelines for fat, sugar, sodium and calories for snack foods sold in school vending machines, stores and snack bars.
