Abstract

The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 Legislation (Public Law 111-296) represents a federal statute signed into existence by President Barack Obama in December 2010. The bill funds nutrition and free lunch programs in public schools through 2014, and sets new nutrition standards for these schools. This new statute closely relates to First Lady Michelle Obama's advocacy efforts in reducing childhood obesity in America and for creating a healthier generation of children.
