Expel the Hormones from School Milk!

Food & Water Watch’s School Milk Campaign wants Congress to make the smart choice for school lunches: milk free of artificial growth hormones.

The federal nutrition programs are a major provider of milk to our nation’s school-age children. According to the National Milk Producers Federation, nearly 430 million gallons of milk were distributed through the National School Breakfast, Lunch, and Special Milk programs during the 2005-2006 school year. Unfortunately, a significant amount of this milk may have been produced with artificial growth hormones. 

Can you sign our petition to ask Congress to state that schools can purchase artificial hormone-free milk and organic milk?

Dear Member of Congress: I urge you to include language in the Child Nutrition Act stating that schools and other federal feeding programs can purchase artificial hormone-free milk and organic milk. Schoolchildren deserve milk that is produced without controversial products like rBGH, and school food service directors deserve clear guidance on their right to request rBGH-free milk. Please support this effort to improve the milk served to children in our schools.
