Fresh Fruit and Vegatable Program

My name is Cynthia Redd and I feel strongly that the USDA should find a way to offer cash vouchers for fresh fruits and vegetables to young people that have been identified as obese or borderline obese. I viewed the 2013 Analysis of Alternatives for Cash Value Vouchers key considerations report discussing points of keeping or ending the vouchers which were previously issued for breast feeding mothers through the WIC program. I hope there is a way we can put free fruits and vegetables on the tables of youth with serious weight problems. This would highly increase the probability of them consuming more fruits and vegetables. I believe for too long we have assumed that parents will buy them for their children, honestly, some parents are just not fully embrasing that yet.-/proposal prepared/
