Vegetarian Star

Nicole Richie is one of the greenest celebrity moms out there, known for being super-strict about buying organic products for the family, eating less meat, and composting. It’s no surprise she’s one of a slew of celebrities backing the Healthy School Meals Act, a bill that would provide regular vegetarian and dairy-free beverage options to more schools.

Richie and her partner, Joel Madden, recently opened a Los Angeles garden for school children and suggests this is yet another way government can give schools the kick they need to churn out healthy, intelligent adults.

“It’s wonderful to teach children about good nutrition and show them how to grow vegetables, but it’s even more important to ensure that they actually have an opportunity to eat these healthier foods on a daily basis.”

“The Healthy School Meals Act would encourage schools to add fruits, vegetables, and healthy plant-based meal options. It would even provide financial incentives to schools that provide these healthier options. This is an extremely innovative bill—and it is also a practical and cost-effective way to improve child nutrition.”

“Many families struggle to afford healthful foods, and they may not be able to pack lunches for their children. That’s why it is so crucial that all children have access to nutritious options in the school lunch line.”
