World Food Prize for schoolchildren's feeding program
George McGovern, Robert Dole awarded World Food Prize for school feeding program for world's poorest children. The program, which targets the 300 million children getting nothing to eat during the school day, was begun in 2000 with $300 million, but funding dwindled afterward. Through more spending via 2008 farm/food bill, funding could increase.
