Universal School Meals- VT Legislative Update

At the start of this year’s legislative session in Vermont we took a closer look at the campaign to make school meals universal.  It’s one of the really important food access issues that the state house took on this year and with the legislative session coming to a close we’ve decided to check back in with Teddy Waszazak, Hunger Free Vermont’s Universal School Meals campaign manager, for an update on what’s coming out of the legislature this session.  

We spoke with Teddy and school nutrition director Harley Sterling at length on this topic in Episode 19: Universal School Meals, and if you haven’t heard that episode it’s worth going back and giving it a listen before listening to this episode.  

This episode was produced by Stephen Abatiell.

Special thanks to Teddy Waszazak and Hunger Free Vermont.
