If it benefits the kids, the farmers, and the local economy, why not expand it? The local food and farm to fork movements seem to be continuing to grow in this country. If we can get the kids excited about their food and healthy diets, it could really do a lot for the way our entire agriculture system works (big agriculture shifting to more small, local farms). <br /><br />I remember getting food at school, and I don't remember seeing much greenery offered besides an occasional salad that consisted of pale green leaves. I will take your word that the research shows that these farm-to-school programs work for students. However, I wonder if the schools will still serve an abundance of fried food and pizza or if they will limit the unhealthy foods and put more healthy food on the kids' plates. Even as an adult, it is hard to resist a slice of pizza in favor of vegetables. As a kid, it is probably just as difficult if not more so.
