Tom Steyer 2020

"Cafeteria" +

:60 TV ad from Jan. 16, 2020 run in IA.






[Music]

Steyer:  No child should have to worry about finding good food in school. 

So when my wife Kat and I learned California public school children couldn't get fresh produce in the cafeteria, we took action.

We partnered with local farmers, school kitchens, a nonprofit. 

That program now serves over 300 million healthy meals every year.

The difference between words and action matters.

That's a lesson Washington, DC could use right now. 

I'm Tom Steyer, and I approve this message.

Notes:   This ad proved to be very on point; around this time the USDA proposed "changes to simplify meal pattern and monitoring requirements in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs."
