                               RESOLUTION


 
 Supporting the goals and ideals of the Apple Crunch and the Nation's 
                        domestic apple industry.

Whereas October is National Apple Month and is the only national and brand 
        generic apple promotion conducted in the United States;
Whereas each year the Penn State Hershey Center for Nutrition and Activity 
        Promotion, in its mission to encourage individuals to live a healthy 
        lifestyle, promotes the Apple Crunch nationwide;
Whereas the Apple Crunch, held on October 28, 2009, is an event that focuses on 
        healthy food choices, particularly apples, for students, schools, and 
        communities;
Whereas during National Apple Month and the celebration surrounding the Apple 
        Crunch, schools of all levels voluntarily participate in serving apples 
        and apple products as part of cafeteria menus and as snacks in the 
        classroom;
Whereas schools that participate in the Apple Crunch can integrate apples into 
        classroom lessons, or have a State or local apple representative visit 
        the school;
Whereas community businesses voluntarily support the efforts of schools to 
        celebrate the Apple Crunch by providing apples to employees and 
        customers, featuring apples on restaurant menus, and voicing support for 
        healthy food and beverage choices in schools and communities; and
Whereas 2009 is the third year that the Apple Crunch will be expanded to include 
        schools throughout the Nation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the goals and 
ideals of National Apple Month and the Apple Crunch.
