ALT There is a photo of a small plant growing out of a toilet paper roll pod, a second pod is laying on it's side so the bottom can be seen. Text reads: Toilet Paper Roll Seed starter pod. 1. Using scissors, cut 6 to 8 small slits in the end of your toilet paper roll (if using a paper towel roll, cut the roll into 3 pieces before beginning this step). 2. Fold the strips down so they overlap. 3. Fill carefully with wet soil, and set in a baking sheet. 4. Plant 1 seed per roll. After germination, just plant the whole thing in your garden!

ALT Quote from Secretary Vilsack that says, "Many children arenāt getting the nutrition they need, and diet-related diseases are on the rise. Research shows school meals are the healthiest meals in a day for most kids, proving that they are an important tool for giving kids access to the nutrition they need for a bright future. We must all step up to support child health if we are to achieve the Biden-Harris Administration's goal of ending hunger and reducing diet-related diseases by 2030, in accordance with the National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition and Health. Strengthening school meals is one of the best ways we can achieve that goal."
