Michelle Obama, take spent hens off the menu!

Since 2007, kids have been served 13.6 million pounds of chicken in school lunches that's so low-quality it would otherwise have become compost or dog food. This is chicken KFC refuses to serve.

Known as "spent hen" meat, the poultry industry has been using their influence to peddle this meat to the national school lunch program.  

I think it's time we appealed to our country's most powerful advocate for child nutrition. As first lady Michelle Obama frequently points out: Our kids need, and deserve, better.

Petition Text

Dear First Lady Michelle Obama,

I know you would agree that kids deserve safe, healthy food.

Since 2007, kids have been served 13.6 million pounds of chicken in school lunches that's so low-quality it would otherwise have become compost or dog food. This is chicken KFC refuses to serve.

Please use your influence as a champion on child health issues to take this chicken, known as spent hen chicken, off the menu, and tell the USDA that they should adopt science-based safety standards for all high-risk food served in schools. Our children deserve better.

Sincerely,
