Too far. But schools need to drop lunches and let kids bring lunches from home.

Alas, your comment is running against the tide of recent history. Not only are schools serving lunches, most now provide a breakfast as well. The trend is to also serve an after-school meal as well, because you cannot expect parents to feed their kids, can you?

For the weekends, “backpacks” of food are sent home so the kids don’t go hungry and in the summer time, many schools offer ‘free’ lunches for anyone under the age of 18.

Many schools are also switching to free lunches for all students to avoid stigmatizing the kids on the free lunch program.

Now the kids who qualify for free lunches also likely qualify for food stamps. But only a hard-hearted ba$tard would suggest detecting the free school meals and ‘backpacks’ from a family’s monthly food stamp allotment
