CPB and Steve Sanchez on Making Children Healthy Again

School nutrition, fitness, and parental rights

Chris Brandlin and Steve Sanchez discuss making Nevada's children healthier — school nutrition, physical activity, and the role of parents in both.

What distinguishes this conversation from the shorter clips is that it stays on jurisdiction. School meal standards, PE requirements, and classroom policy are state and district decisions, which makes them legitimate subjects for an Assembly campaign rather than federal talking points imported into a local race.

The parental-rights thread runs alongside rather than through it: their argument is that families should be able to find out what is being served and taught without filing a request, which is a transparency question before it is an ideological one.
