[...] The legislation was passed by the Senate in August and by the House earlier this month by a vote of 264-157 (in the House, 153 Republicans and 4 Democrats voted no, against the bill, while 247 Democrats and 17 Republicans voted yes). The law, S. 3307, will be administered by the Department of Agriculture, which will craft new school nutrition standards under the law.The 218-page, $4.5-billion law encompasses a range of provisions, including offering qualified children lunch and dinner at school, the regulation of foods served at schools that receive federal funding, and the funding of research on child hunger. It also includes a pilot program for "organic foods."
