Welcome to

The apron and ladle of Florida school lunches has been handed over to the Commissioner of Agriculture. Commissioner Adam Putnam spoke to the Capitol Press Corps today about how he plans to make Florida students healthier. Putnam wants to put more fresh fruits and vegetables on school lunch trays.

“I would like to build an infrastructure where you are seeing a lot of more fresh salad bars in the school system, particularly for the older grades,” said Putnam.

Putnam is still working out the details of his plan. The federal government still has to give him the ok. If they do Putnam will officially take over school lunches in January of 2012.
