        and nutritional support to over 36,000,000 people in the United States 
        who live in households that face food insecurity on a daily basis;
Whereas the Food and Nutrition Service supports schools in the United States by 
        providing children with nutritious breakfasts and lunches and promotes 
        wellness policies to ensure that children have a healthy start in life; 
        and
Whereas the nutrition programs of the Food and Nutrition Service reach 1 in 5

        employees to the citizens of the United States;
            (2) commends the efforts of States, territories, local

        citizens of the United States;
            (3) encourages the continued efforts to educate the 
        citizens of the United States about the importance of eating
