The EU has approved a multi million euro plan to provide free fruit and vegetables to schools across Europe.
It's designed to help fight obesity.
The scheme will only operate in EU countries where governments are also prepared to contribute to the scheme.
An estimated 22 million children in the EU are overweight, more than five million of them clinically obese.
