Fast-Food Children, Part Two

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger recently stepped up in a big way to change all of that. The Wheatgerminator added $8.5 million to his final budget revision for the purpose of "integrating fresh produce, whole grains, and other healthy choices into school meals." Our so-far-astonishingly commonsensical Governor Crist needs to do likewise. Two weeks ago he signed a law requiring Florida's elementary schools to offer 30 minutes of physical education every day. That's great. But developing wholesome eating habits in our youth must also be a key component of any comprehensive healthcare plan that hopes to succeed in the long haul.

So c'mon, Charlie -- open up the coffers and help put healthier food on our kids' school cafeteria trays. Is there a politician from either party who would dare object?
