Extra Edition: Improving School Lunches. (REPEAT)

The school government in Fresno, CA, is hiring new chefs to oversee the quality of school meals, cook food with fresh ingredients, better respond to student tastes, and reduce food waste. Many families in Fresno report food insecurity and some say “without good nutrition there is no good education.” Last year, California became the first state in the nation to provide free school meals to all students. This program brings conversations with a local community leader and mothers who are in the frontlines, advocating for the new Universal Meals law in California and the changes to the school menu in Fresno.

Guests: Genoveva Islas, Executive Director, Cultiva La Salud, Trustee, FUSD, Fresno, CA; Deiglis Delgado-Wells, Mother of FUSD Student, Fresno, CA; Fabiola Félix, Mother of FUSD Student, Fresno, CA.
