Actress and long-time vegetarian Jennie Garth recently penned a letter to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in which she asks the Speaker to support the Improving Nutrition for America’s Children Act (H.R. 5504), legislation, that if passed, would improve the quality of meals served to children both in and out of school.

“I’m writing to you because I am passionate about promoting healthy lifestyles. This past year, I have been working to educate and motivate children to make healthy choices,” explains Garth. “But nutrition education isn’t enough. We also have to make sure that every child in American can find healthy foods in their school cafeteria.”

The Beverly Hills 90210 star, who has also served as a spokesperson for Hidden Valley’s “Love Your Veggies campaign”, continues by expressing her concern for the current lack of healthy food options school cafeterias provide for children and the unfortunate repercussions that poor nutrition eventually lead to:
Right now, unfortunately, the food served in many schools is too high in saturated fat and cholesterol. Cafeterias are serving pepperoni pizza and beef burritos and other high-fat foods, and healthy choices aren’t always easy to find. That’s especially troubling because more than a third of America’s children are overweight or obese. Obesity can lead to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and some forms of cancer.

Garth joins more than 30 other celebrities in support of the legislation.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sep 16, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Once a time-consuming and intimidating process, pie baking at home is back in fashion today, as a quick, easy and rewarding experience. From a classic American favorite like apple pie, or traditional holiday recipes, pies and tarts are on-trend desserts and sweet treats of choice for today’s moms. Apple pie, the most-consumed variety in the United States, especially at this time of year, is as cool as a crisp autumn evening.

With increasing pie consumption in the United States, up 16.5 percent from seven years ago, Pillsbury(R) Refrigerated Pie Crusts are helping a new generation of moms discover pie baking at home.

“When I started baking pies, I thought it would be a difficult experience. I was pleasantly surprised to find that when I began with a quality prepared crust, pie baking was not only easier, it was actually a lot of fun,” says Jennie Garth, celebrity and busy mom.

Peter Facinelli Is a ‘Babe’ – Just Ask Jennie Garth

Twilight fans may swoon over Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner – but Jennie Garth has the hots for another vamp: Her husband Peter Facinelli, who plays Carlisle Cullen in the film series.

“I always see him as really foxy,” Garth told PEOPLE about her heartthrob husband at the Style n’ Smile event on Thursday in New York City. “I’ve always thought, ‘Wow, I’m super lucky.’ He’s a babe.”

Even after 15 years together, their relationship remains strong – and they have passed their good genes on to their three daughters Luca, 13 Lola, 7 and Fiona, 4.

But that’s not all they have passed on. Garth says that although her kids are exposed to Hollywood life – and beauty expectations – she tries to make sure her kids are confident and have a positive self-image.

“My mom really instilled in me that I’m beautiful and I can do anything, and I echo that now with my own girls,” says Garth.

She also leads by example, showing her girls that it’s okay to be silly as long as you feel comfortable with yourself. With years as a teen star under her belt, the former Beverley Hills, 90210 star doesn’t let gossip or fame keep her from being fun or wacky.

“This is me, take it or leave it,” says Garth. “And I hope that by example, I might be showing my girls that it’s all fun.”
