Summary

Provides, under the Child Nutrition Act of 1966, that the sale of competitive food in food service facilities during the time of service of food under such Act or the National School Lunch Act may be prohibited even though proceeds from such sales will inure to the benefit of the schools. Directs the Secretary of Agriculture to make cash grants to the education department of each State for the purpose of providing funds to local school districts and private nonprofit school systems for the establishment of courses in nutrition education. Authorizes the appropriation of such sums as the Congress considers necessary to carry out such purpose. Allows the Secretary to distribute funds directly to the school systems when the State education agency is unable to do so.
