(Undated) -- More than 200 Illinois schools are getting cash from the feds to give kids more fresh fruits and veggies. They'll split 500-million-dollars to make sure the kids get the snacks during the day. Officials say this is a great way to incorporate healthy snacks into the students' diets, especially low-income students who might not have a lot of access to fresh fruits and vegetables outside of school.
