Happy Fruit & Vegetable Day! My background in health and wellness gave me such an appreciation and passion for educating others about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. When I learned about the obesity rate of our children in Texas, I knew something had to be done. So, I filed HB 3991 to establish the first Friday in April as Texas Fruit & Vegetable day to teach our young Texans about the importance of fruits and vegetables in our diet. It was a privilege to see this initiative come to life today at Serene Hills Elementary in collaboration with efforts by Commissioner Sid Miller and the Department of Agriculture. Thank you to the Texas International Produce Association, Bright Bites, Lake Travis ISD, Serene Hills Elementary, and of course Commissioner Miller’s team for making this an incredible inaugural Fruit & Veggie day! @TexasDeptofAg @texasproduce #health #fruits #veggies #texas
