They should make it nutritious for pigs because the children just throw most of it in the trash and if it doesn’t govin a landfill it is sent to pig farms. I have been in school cafeterias at and after lunch. They walk by grab the best tasting food and throw any fruit and the little milk cartons directly into the trash. If there is any consolation to the fact that they are throwing away money that they will have to repay in the future, there it is. You can tell them but they won’t listen or understand or care but their lives will suffer.

Many school lunches contain scant if any protein.

They are depriving kids of adequate human nutrition.

Scenario:

Welfare Momma has 4 kids all in school.

She gets EBT cards that include 3 meals a day for 7 days a week for all 4 kids. That is 21 meals X 4= 84 meals.

THEN-—Those SAME 4 kids get at least 2 meals a day at school. 4 X 2 X 5 = 40 meals.

THOSE kids get no exercise to speak of & they are fat.

If it makes you feel any better, I’ll point out that school lunches aren’t supposed to be eaten. They’re designed to subsidize food producers, regardless of whether any of the food they produce actually gets eaten.

School lunch’s should be a States Issue. Probably actually a local issue.

School lunches are a parent’s responsibility. The same is true with education. Abolish government schools and there are no more school lunch programs or illiterate, lazy ass, woke teachers grooming children.

I agree. The Feds need to stay out of school lunches. Remember pictures of those awful, paltry Michelle Obama school lunches?

They probably want their big, fat noses in it so they can try to make more people send their kids with lunches packed from home and then they can pocket some of the funds designated for school lunches.

Just speculation, of course, but that seems to be how this administration operates.

What in the world does “economic competitiveness” have to do with school lunches?

Is tightening school nutrition going to be like when MOOCHELL was in charge and most students either didn’t get lunch or pitched it in the garbage??? I saw pictures of their meals and I, myself, would not have touched it. Some of it looked like something I had already eaten.

I remember seeing the photos of some of the schools lunches during the Obama years. There wasn’t anything attractive for the kids and they refused to eat those meals. Stupid idea for the federal government to get involved!

That was good enough for my dad and all my 9 aunts and uncles. No one reported my grandparents to child protective services over it.
