Speaking at a local elementary school in Washington, D.C., Obama said that the measure, which was a major priority for First Lady Michelle Obama, would be a "vitally important" step in improving the health and welfare of America's children.
"It is worth noting that this bill passed with bipartisan support in both houses of Congress," President Obama said. "It reminds us that no matter what people may hear about how divided things are in Washington, we can still come together and agree on issues that matter for our children's future and for our future as a nation."
He added, "That's really what today is all about."
The bill, Obama said, tries to tackle the dual problems of not enough children having access to meals at school and improving the nutritional quality of the meals that are offered. INO.com News
