So when i do television, i always have some facts and figures. I know my material. And throw out a few because it gives me authority. If i tell you 56 million babies ha

He is cited here, when we were looking at the universe of policies that can address fruit and vegetable consumption its vast. Many things we have talked about today can be influenced by Public Policy. To organize our thinking we used this framework to think about the different strategies and put them into some context. We also looked at the different settings where its possible to implement policy related to increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, those settings very broadly are government settings, school settings, which we just mentioned as an important kind of access point.
