Don't roll back child nutrition standards

Don't roll back child nutrition standards
Accordingly, Congress must stand strong against any effort to roll back the nutrition standards in the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program. Because of these standards, passed in 2010 as part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, children are eating more fruits and vegetables, most schools are successfully meeting the standards, school lunch revenue is up and food waste has not increased in schools.  read more

TOPFIT says: In fact, the standards should be stricter and parents need to be educated about the damage they're doing to their kids when they don't insist on proper nutrition.

TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Jacksonville Forest Park Run and Heavy Bag
Earlier in the day, with a cool breeze blowing and a light rain occasionally falling, I had a really great run on the J-Ville Forest Park trails.  In the evening I made time for a 30 min heavy bag workout.


If you know how these flowers grow, you know just how low I had to get to look up at them.

About Your Trainer

Medford, OR, United States
Hi! I'm Patrick Frey, your in-home, online and on-the-trail Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist. With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
