Worldwide Lunch Program Proposed
by PHILIP BRASHER
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Clinton has asked his
administration to consider establishing an international school lunch
program similar to the federal one that subsidizes meals in American
schools.
Former Sen. George McGovern, U.S. representative to the U.N.
Food and Agriculture Organization, proposed the feeding program
to Clinton last week at a meeting with Agriculture Secretary Dan
Glickman and other administration officials.
After Clinton heard McGovern's pitch, ''We were instructed to go and
flesh the idea out,'' Glickman said Tuesday at a nutrition conference.
''The president gave us a green light to go out and develop this
program.''
An estimated 300 million children in Africa, Asia and Latin America
suffer from malnutrition, including 150 million, mostly girls, who
don't go to school, McGovern said.
The Agriculture Department subsidizes lunches for 27 million U.S.
children, including 15 million who get meals for free or at reduced
prices. The program cost $6 billion last year.
The availability of free lunches would improve nutrition overseas,
attract kids to school who otherwise would get no education and
provide an outlet for surplus U.S. farm commodities, McGovern said.
''Nobody has been able to find a better way to get them to school
than to offer them lunch,'' he said.
McGovern was a leading advocate for federal nutrition programs
while serving in the Senate from South Dakota in the 1960s and
1970s. He ran for president three times, in 1968, 1972 and 1984.
