The New York City Council plans to approve resolutions on Wednesday demanding Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration provides breakfast in the classroom at all city public schools, a policy the administration opposes because officials fear it could increase childhood obesity.
"We can't stand by, year after year, and be among the worst in the country in making sure our kids have access to nutritional food in the morning," said Council Member Stephen Levin, a Brooklyn Democrat and primary sponsor of the resolutions. "It's an injustice for our kids to go to school and sit throughout the school day hungry when they could be fed with federal dollars."
