"Kids deserve health and nutritious meals at school, but if the Federal Government mandates meals that students will not eat than Washington is categorically failing to combat hunger."

"Child nutrition programs are an important part of making sure that education results in every child having the foundation for a healthy and productive future."

"I would like to thank my colleagues across the aisle for holding today's hearing."

"Free and reduced-price meals ensure that children from low-income households have reliable access to nutritious breakfasts and lunches while at school."
