I'd be satisfied even with starting small - have one fresh, local meal a week or one item each day. One item a day at my sons' school would be a nice start - right now, everything is junk.

In the school proposals of John Dewey, circa 1899, the school garden was one of the central areas of every elementary school. Grow real food; learn responsibility and care for living things, learn botany and agriculture. Cooperate with others in preparing and serving garden fresh meals; enjoy real food tastes. Sure beats text prep and junk food! This is such a necessary bill. In the school proposals of John Dewey, circa 1899, the school garden was one of the central areas of every elementary school.

I have friends in Texas whose children go to a private school that serves organic, locally-grown food - every day. I would love to see something like this in all schools, regardless of funding source. I think this is a fantastic program and I hope that it makes it into law.
