2.    Category of Problem: School funding

3.    Level of Problem: State

4.    Article Concerns: School in Vermont is receiving funding in order to provide schools with local farm grown food.

5.    Affects families/individuals: This highly affects the students that go to those schools. They can finally get nutritional food implemented into the schools and help out the child obesity problem.

6.    My Concerns: I think that this is a great idea. It gives schools the opportunity to provide their students with healthy locally grown food. This will tremendously help out the child obesity problem by allowing them to eat healthy food in the schools. It also teaches them how to eat healthy and they could potentially implement those good habits in their homes. I think more states should be receiving funding like this so that they have the same opportunity as the schools in Vermont. This plan has the potential to help out the childhood obesity problem that is going on throughout the United States.
