Nutrition Advocates Praise Governor’s School Breakfast Proposal

“We applaud the Governor for making student nutrition and obesity prevention a priority, especially during tight budget times,” said Jessica Reich, Director of Food Quality Policy for California Food Policy Advocates (CFPA). “By focusing attention and resources on the School Breakfast Program, the Governor is helping kids start each school day ready to learn.  By increasing fruit and vegetable consumption he is starting students on a path to a lifetime of healthy eating.”  Ms. Reich’s cell phone number is (415) 794-4246.
