A LIFETIME OF BETTER HEALTH!
Eating more plant-based meals benefits long-term health and reduces the likelihood of developing obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and various forms of cancer.
Illinois now offers students more lunchtime choices, including new plant-based meals.
Besides being packed with all the daily fiber, protein and nutrients students need to learn, grow and lead healthy lives, and fully aligning with USDA nutrition requirements, plant-based lunches have additional health benefits for your student!
Asking your public school to serve your child a plant-based meal comes at no extra cost. Teens can make this request on their own!
