Stop Obesity in Schools Act of 2007

The Stop Obesity in Schools Act of 2007 proposed a national strategy to reduce childhood obesity rates by 10% through federal grants and local wellness initiatives. If enacted, the bill would have provided funding for school districts to implement healthy living programs and established local councils to coordinate nutrition and physical activity efforts for students. It also directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to evaluate existing health programs to identify the most effective ways to promote long-term wellness in schools.
