Parents For Proper Nutrition In Kentucky Schools, Your Voice Counts

Make Your Voice Heard

If you are frustrated with the continuing lack of nutritional health and physical fitness of our children you can have a voice with PPNG.

School food systems are a big business today. Hundreds of millions of your tax dollars are spent each year by the Federal Government reimbursing school systems for meals that are fed children for free and reduced-price lunches. Yet, you as a parent do not have a voice concerning what your children are feed.

Over the past ten years school systems have found another way to disregard the nutritional health of our children by joining with large corporations to place vending machines that sell junk food in our public schools.

Our schools furnish our children with access to junk food, but not with a physical fitness program.

Your Have A Choice:

Make no mistake, vending machines are big business. Some school districts receive hundreds of thousands of dollars up front from large corporations just to sign an exclusive contract with a company.

This type of money is not just being paid to big city school districts. Princeton City School District in Ohio received $136,000 up front from Coke-Cola for a 10-year contract, and receives 40 percent of all sales ($18,000 last year) from the machines.

It is impossible for one person to make changes with so much money involved, however, with your voice joined with the voices of other PPNG members, you will be heard.
