Join us on Wednesday, July 16th at 7 PM ET for our public policy and advocacy meeting to discuss plant-based milk advocacy! We will be focusing the meeting this month on the topic of plant-based milk advocacy, in part to respond to the recent Healthy Eating Research Healthy Beverage Consumption in School-Age Children and Adolescents Consensus Statement, which discourages plant-based milk alternatives be consumed by children and adolescents unless medically indicated. Access to plant-based milk alternatives in schools is an important policy issue for national school meals as well. All VN Members, including students, are welcome in this meeting!

Please visit the VN DPG website for additional information about this initiative and meeting details (including Zoom link and Google Calendar invitation): https://vndpg.org/public-policy-advocacy/advocacy
