Childhood Obesity Reduction Act
Summary
The Childhood Obesity Reduction Act (H.R. 4941) proposed the creation of a Congressional Council and a non-profit National Foundation specifically dedicated to combating obesity in elementary and middle schools. The bill aimed to establish a "Congressional Challenge" that would encourage schools to develop customized plans for improving student nutrition and increasing physical activity. For families and students, this would have meant the implementation of new health-focused programs in schools, a national website sharing best practices for healthy living, and federal recognition or awards for schools that successfully improved student health outcomes.
