"If we are going to create a healthier environment for today's youth, we need industry leaders like Sodexo to make commitments to provide access to healthier food options at school. We are pleased to welcome Sodexo as the first food service management company to sign the Alliance for a Healthier Generation's Competitive Food and School Beverage Guidelines." said former President Bill Clinton, founder of the William J.
