Hunger-Free Kids Act 2010 was cleared after the final vote by Senate last Wednesday. This bill is expected to increase the effectiveness of lunch programs under a project in Berkeley, California.
The initiative promises to offer healthy, freshly prepared and good to taste meals with seasonal items that are collected from sustainable farms and sent directly to all of Berkeley's public schools to be served to students.
This cultivated from Chef Alice Waters' proposal who expressed an idea of creating a garden of area equal to the football field at Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School. Waters is associated with locavore movement that promotes the use of food that is grown within a 100-mile radius.
Mark Coplan, Spokesman for the Berkeley Unified School District termed the program as “incredible” and also stated that the food stuff generally offered is also fresh and good.
According to Coplan, the program was initiated to do away with the accusations of superiority, reduce obesity and other health problems caused by bad food.
Senator Blanchard sated that the programs is not just aimed at providing nutritional food but about training children good life skills and about making right choices.
