| H.C.R. No. 67 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Good nutrition plays a vital role in helping | ||
| children to learn and in promoting their physical and mental | ||
| health; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The type, quality, and amount of food that children | ||
| consume each day affect | ||
| their overall fitness; the benefits of | ||
| balanced nutrition are long-term and include reduced risk of future | ||
| problems like cardiovascular disease and diabetes; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Children who are undernourished cannot learn as | ||
| much, as quickly, or as thoroughly; hunger impairs their ability to | ||
| concentrate and perform well in school, and it makes children more | ||
| prone to fatigue, as well as to having headaches, colds, and | ||
| behavioral and emotional problems; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Recognizing the importance of good nutrition, the | ||
| State of Texas serves meals to more than 1.5 million schoolchildren | ||
| each day and 16 million breakfasts and lunches to children in | ||
| low-income areas throughout the summer; and | ||
| WHEREAS, An adequate, balanced diet supports children's | ||
| physical and educational development, and efforts to alleviate | ||
| child hunger and to promote healthy eating habits contribute | ||
| immeasurably to the well-being of children and society alike; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 83rd Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby recognize March 2013 as Child Nutrition Month and call on all | ||
| citizens to learn more about the importance of good child nutrition | ||
| and how they can help to promote it. | ||
