This legislation aims to enhance school meal programs by establishing a pilot program that encourages the inclusion of 100 percent plant-based food and milk options, while also ensuring that students with dietary restrictions can access suitable nondairy alternatives. The initiative promotes healthier eating habits among students and supports sustainable food practices, particularly benefiting those who qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Key provisions include the creation of a grant program for eligible school food authorities to implement plant-based meal options.
