I don’t see why we need a federal school lunch program at all.

Back in my day, the elementary school didn’t even have a cafeteria. We all had to bring lunch from home. Somehow we all survived and grew up and had proper nutrition.

Does federal involvement in an area of life really always translate into an improvement, or solve a problem???

Some of the slop they serve in schools nowadays appears to be so unappetizing. I heard that some school wanted to set up cameras by the trash cans to document how much food was being thrown away. But the school quickly said that they weren’t going to identify students, you would just see the trays and hands of children throwing things away.

As if having video to watch would help anyone. Geez..

My school culture in the 1950s was peanut butter sandwiches and potato chips.

My Kansas school in the 50's had mutton and horse meat and prolly some mystery meats too. We looked forward to PBJ days.

The whole statement reads like someone trying to convince us that they are in the know about what kids eat...but it just makes me think they have no clue.

>>As participation has dropped, costs have gone up. . . partly because of . . . a higher percentage of children getting free or reduced-price lunches.

There is another true sign of that wonderful Obama economy Leftists like to brag about.

How naive you can be. How else will the apparatchiks of the federal bureaucracy get the proletariat addicted to govt. handouts? How else will they get the parents of these children to come to see the federal govt as a benevolent master? How else will they teach the little bambinos that govt is there "for the people" whenever their grubby little hand is empty?

Some people... /s

We had a Japanese high-school exchange student a few years ago.

The folks that ran the program specifically told us: “Don’t go out of your way to make Japanese food. These kids are here to learn about America; part of that is eating American food”.
