I was just looking at this report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and looked at the State of Georgia and noted that over 108,000 persons will have less nutrition than they have now. These include school aged children, pre-school children, as well as school children in special programs. That is 108,000 less in Georgia, and I know the gentleman would be concerned about that so I wanted to bring that to his attention.
