Fresh Start in danger

California's Fresh Start Program, which provided an extra 10 cents for each student's breakfast to provide fresh fruit, could hit a budget wall soon. Here is a story about the program and the money woes at the state level, as reported by The Press Enterprise. One school foodservice official quoted said that she won't let go of the program easily. "You'll find a way to make it work," she said.

At a time when the federal fruit and vegetable snack program is desperately seeking solid farm bill funding to expand, this news of a reversal for California's Fresh Start program is disappointing.
