As filed, S.B. 474 sought to effect change to school food requirements. It sought to restrict the availability of competitive foods.

Extractions: Trimming the Fat Empty calories and empty playgrounds could lead to empty coffers in Texas. More than a third of the kids in Texas schools are overweight, according to Texas Health Commissioner Eduardo Sanchez, and that means future health hazards for children and fiscal hardships for the state. In April, Sanchez told the Joint Interim Study Committee on Nutrition and Health in Public Schools that the number of overweight Texans will double by 2040. Their health care costs are also expected to double. Obesity not only causes serious illnesses, such as diabetes, heart disease and gallbladder disease, but it is also draining state resources, he said. Bulges cost billions In 2001, overweight or obese adults cost Texas $10.5 billion. That includes the direct costs of health care and the value of lost productivity, illness, disability and premature death, according to Dr. Margaret McCusker, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) representative assigned to the Texas Department of Health (TDH). Moreover, Texas' children are more overweight than the national average, McCusker said. Thirty-five percent of Texas' school-age children are overweight, compared with an average of 15 percent nationwide, she said.
