The Improving Nutrition for America's Children Act (H.R. 5504), sponsored by Chairman George Miller (D-CA) and Ranking Subcommittee Member Todd Platts (R-PA), provides critical support for low-income children by improving their access to the nutritious food they need – whether they are in school, in out-of-school time programs, or in child care.  And it takes important measures to improve the quality of nutrition that low-income children receive.  It ensures significant movements toward the goals of ending child hunger by 2015 and dramatically reducing childhood obesity.
