03 MAY SCHOOL LUNCH HERO DAY in honor of each person for providing lunches to millions of children.

Children need a quality, hot, nutritious meal every day. However, some children only receive one meal a day, and maybe only one hot meal, at the school they attend.
If you look forward to tasty food and a full belly in school, you know exactly whom to thank for this. These include school nutrition professionals and even those serving food in cafeterias. Each person responsible for making sure good food is handed out to students is a hero, and this day was specially designed to show them some love.
We can trace the school lunch tradition to the eighteenth century. American-born Count Rumford fled to Germany during the Revolutionary War. He would feed poor children who worked part-time in exchange for schooling and food. He served them barley, potatoes, sour beer, and other inexpensive food and is likely one of the earliest examples of a soup kitchen.
