Texas ag commissioner reverses school deeper-fryer, soft drink ban

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller has reversed the state's ban on deep fryers in school lunch kitchens and rolled back a restriction on soft drinks, the Associated Press reported.

But the AP added that the state of Texas will not buy deep fryers and that Miller tries to encourage healthy school meals through a farm-to-school program.
