RAW FRUIT to be given to School chil

[Guest guest]

& lt; & lt;By 2004 the UK Government aims to give

all 4 to 6 year olds a piece of fresh fruit<br>every

school day, The pilot project starts THIS week in London

and Leicester. & gt; & gt;<br><br><br>Ya know Chris, that

all sounds fine n dandy, but in my opinion, the

school lunch programs should be doing this already. Why

wait intil 2004 to hand out one piece of fresh fruit

on a daily basis? That is ridiculous in my eyes.

Sorry, I'm the overly-opinionated one here, as you well

know :-)<br><br>And what about the kids that aren't

between 4-6 years old? What do they get? An old worn out

shoe to chew on? It amazes me that the government,

whether it be AMerican or English, thinks they're doing

the public such a big favor by implementing such a

small step is astounding. And why wait til 2004 to do

this? What's wrong with tomotrrow?<br><br>Sorry, I just

don't get it. They make it try to sound like they're

doing such a noble thing when they rally aren't at all.
