Nixon unveils plan to expand school lunch programs
The White House said President Nixon will ask Congress for a comprehensive bill to reform lunch and breakfast programs and provide an extra 44.5 million dollars for nutrition activities. He would offset the increase by trimming other areas. The plan aims to incentivize states to broaden coverage with a performance based aid system. McGovern criticized the proposal saying it could deny food to many children.
