London
(ANI):
Actress
Scarlett
Johansson
has
urged
a
U.S.
Congressman
to
help
pass
a
new
bill
to
promote
healthy
eating
in
American
schools.
The
Lost
In
Translation
star
shot
off
a
letter
California
Congressman
George
Miller,
seeking
his
support
for
the
Healthy
School
Meals
Act.
“I'm
asking
you
to
support
the
Healthy
School
Meals
Act
of
2010.
It
is
our
responsibility,
as
adults,
to
give
school
children
the
nutrients
and
vitamins
they
so
vitally
need,
especially
during
school
hours
where
their
food
intake
may
be
monitored," The
Daily
Express
quoted
her
as
saying
in
the
letter.
“I
am
so
thankful
that
the
National
School
Lunch
Program
(a
scheme
to
give
low-cost
or
free
lunches
to
school
children)
exists
and
helps
children
around
the
nation
get
enough
to
eat.
But
right
now,
many
of
the
foods
served
through
this
program
do
not
support
children''s
healthy
development,"
she
added.
