Poverty and hunger have about ZERO positive correlation in modern America.
The #1 nutrition related problem of the “poor” in America is OBESITY.
You are, in fact, more likely to be obese if you are “poor” than any other economic group.
Have you SEEN these kids in PG County MD? Many look like linebackers/Sumo wrestlers.

Because processed food with high fructose corn syrup is cheaper to buy and probably tastier, too. I bet if you followed those kids around, you would be surprised how little they eat... but how much of it is all the wrong stuff.

“The #1 nutrition related problem of the “poor” in America is OBESITY.”
There is alot of evidence that the school lunch program has contributed to the obesity explosion. This school dinner will only exacerbate the problem. (Interestingly, students who participate only in a school breakfast program do not gain weight.) Remember the old adage: eat like a king at breakfast, a prince at lunch, and a pauper at dinner.
