Reducing Obesity in Youth Act of 2021

The Reducing Obesity in Youth Act of 2021 (S. 2741) aims to improve the health of young children by establishing a federal grant program to promote nutritious eating and physical activity in early childhood settings. These grants would be awarded to nonprofits and universities to help childcare providers and early educators implement better nutritional standards and address food insecurity. For families, this bill is intended to ensure that children in daycare and preschool have more consistent access to healthy meals and active play during their formative years.
