"The illnesses from which modern man suffers are due to diet, but they can be cured through following the right diet.
I support the distribution of fruit in schools. I cannot help thinking of the fact that in Romania a glass of milk and a roll have been distributed in schools for free since 2002. While, at the start, we were happy to offer this benefit only to children in primary schools, since 2006 this measure has also been extended to pre-school children and since 2007 to secondary school children. The European School Fruit Scheme will, at least in Romania, supplement the one mentioned above.
There are numerous benefits to this. I would like to mention just two of them:
The World Health Organization recommends that children up to the age of 11 consume at least 400 grams of fruit and vegetables per day. I am thinking in this case too of the European Parliament resolution of 25 September 2008 concerning the White Paper on diet-related health problems. Let us not forget that food and the way we eat play a decisive role in helping us to maintain our health as it is.
Disparities will be reduced: children come from different socio-economic backgrounds, with some of them being hugely disadvantaged."@en1
