Ohio Legislature ….Concerned About Children’s Health
SB 210--As it now stands this bill is receiving a lot of support from both sides of the aisle and both chambers. This is a bill to establish nutritional standards for certain foods and beverages sold in public and chartered nonpublic schools; to require public school students to have periodic body mass index measurements; to require daily physical activity for public school students and to make other changes regarding physical education; and to establish the Healthy Choices for Healthy Children Council. (A weekend newspaper story indicates that the school physical fitness activity might be struck due to its cost.)
