Date: February 16, 2009 04:31PM I came across this today, sounds like it has been around for a while, and there always seems to be so much negative news, I am thrilled when I find something positive that may be actually benefitting people.
There is a School Fruit and Vegetable Program here in BC (maybe elsewhere as well...) If your kids school is signed up, they come and deliver fresh fruit or vegetable snacks a couple of times a week for 14 weeks of the school year. How wonderful to think how many kids might not otherwise experience really fresh food! And I noticed that a LOT of schools seem to have signed up for this. Brilliant!

Thanks for posting this. On the one hand, I thought, what a good thing. But, then, I also thought, how sad that havign a fruit or vegetable snack twice a week is an unusual thing for some children. I'm glad they are doing it. I only wish they didn't HAVE to do it. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
