Look at what you eat for breakfast and I garuntee it costs under a dollar a day. Yet these "free breakfast" programs probably cost $20 per student. No one in America is genuinely too poor to afford breakfast. Just let that money trickle down.

[@coleengoodell7523]

This is unacceptable. I was just thinking about my childhood today. Although my family wasn't poor, apparently feeding her two children was not a priority to our Mom. Lunch was forty cents, a quarter, a dime and a nickel. I remember waiting for that meal in a Styrofoam to go type of thing at the elementary school I attended. The white Styrofoam stunk, but I ate every bite. It was my first meal of the day and oftentimes the only balanced and filling meal I would get that day. I'm sure, less the weird smell and presentation, that for too many children, this may also be their life and their daily meal. Breakfast wasn't served in the 60's. I know it would have helped me make it to lunch and improved my overall health. Children's brains also need calories and nutrition for proper development.

We didn't get a full meal it was a choice of packaged sandwich, pizza or macaroni and cheese. Even to this day I have no idea why they only served food that way and this was back in 2001. For me I would always bring my own lunch because of it and many others did as well so perhaps they figured that the demographics of the school (middle - upper middle class) didn't justify the budget for a fully funded cafeteria team since families could afford to eat out or prepare food. I could only imagine what it would be like for lower class families who would struggle to provide for their kids a meal to get them through the long day.

Situations change. Your entire life, including income, can change in a single day. Have you honestly never heard of a lay off, or staff reduction to save the company money? Sometimes a family falls on hard times and temporarily needs help. Many children are starving because they live in abusive situations and their parents just won't feed them. People assume that every child is getting the same treatment and upbringing at home. As mentioned some abusive parents have good incomes, they just choose to let their child go hungry. So those children wouldn't be eligible for the free and reduced lunches. All I'm really trying to say here is that the whole "can't afford em, don't have em" thing doesn't work in most cases. And there are children suffering because of it. I'm all for parental responsibility, but you can't just expect every parent to be a good parent, unfortunately.

When political decisions keep the wages minimal and labor unions are presented as evil. Just you wait: when you lose your job, when you or someone in your family gets ill from something your insurance doesn't cover or has an accident, you'll find out you won't be able to afford much/good food anymore. Why obesity and diabetes are prevalent among the working classes? Ever wondered why the working classes and the wealthy people aren't the same people? It's not your "hard work" what keeps you on top. It's your good luck so far, or the hard work of the people who work for you. Aren't you, by any chance, born into a wealthy family? You sound so Kardashian... to the point of thinking that *hungry children* in "the best, greatest, wealthiest country in the world" isn't shameful.

Meritocracy is great, when everyone starts from the same point and has equal opportunities, when your talents and will to work is the only difference. Making policies that assure many kids will be hungry at school (again, in the wealthiest, greatest, "best country in the world") is short-sighted from a mere investment point of view: ensuring many kids will change education for whatever gives they money to eat ASAP, will result in masses of unskilled workers never able to get good wages perpetuating the circle of inescapable poverty with their own children, increase in crime, and, if you care about that, an even greater need for qualified immigrant workers to take the specialized jobs Americans can't fill. Which is already happening. May I signal that *making sure* kids go hungry when you can prevent it is, let's say, cruel and inhuman? I highly recommend you to try it. Have for breakfast a coffee/a glass of milk and a bun or a PB sandwich. Don't eat anything all day long until the afternoon/night, when you'll have, maybe, fries, burgers, or any kind of the junk food your minimal wage family can afford because fresh veggies/fruit, fish, meats, etc. are too expensive.

Another reason for the waste of food is that is basically fast foods that came to the school frozen to be heated or in a package that required water to be added then heated. The lunch food was basically horrible. The tax payers are paying for this so I say fix the kids something that the majority of them will as throwing it in the trash can does not do the kids any good.

Brilliant idea, deny children food at school; where do you think their minds will be? Not on their studies. The dumbing down of America.

[@markfiorentino9757]

WTF!! Tell you what liberals you go w/ out breakfast or lunch, for a lot of these kids this might be the only meal they get during the week .

[@kristinaasimova601]

Half of these food goes to trash - it's disgusting and kids don't wanna eat it, I have worked in school. Serve it to those who really needs it, that would be enough.

[@jajaja6668]

Now a days it's totally different unlike on the old days , hope Pres. Biden will look into this matter, children should not suffer starvation America is rich unlike Philippines.

[@monicamccoy4786]

This is horrible my town will eat

[@tlandry9689]

My area is so poor, every kid gets free breakfast and lunch.

[@troxistmajin8740]

Re-allocate the food going to people serving prison sentences for heinous crimes, and give them to the children. It's a win-win as it will deter more crime if people know they will starve to death in prison.

[@underground-hiphopchannel4657]

In new zealand you have to pack ur own lunch or you go hungry nothings free.

[@ticklemebreathless1394]

Cool. We aren't in NZ.

[@seraeirian2]

So think of the fetus, but not actual starving children. Sounds about Right.

[@lynettedundon1410]

What were they thinking? My kid gets free lunch and she needs it.

[@bethriley9757]

This is so wrong

[@charlessantee8329]

This is messed up children going without a free meal🌭🌭🌭

[@freshbaby697]

She can't even sound serious, because she know it's some bs.

[@gentilgentile6571]

Can you believe it..? We give a country thousands of miles away a few million dollars can't we give some lunch money for kids in our country.. What are they supposed to eat? I'm afraid this is a conservative cut ..as usual

[@dee2231]

How does this happen??? My GOD in heaven how does this happen? Get this fixed do your jobs government...

[@kimcissell1905]

Don’t let the lunch subsidy end June 30th. Starving infants and children coming. The supply chain is so unstable and the uS economy is collapsing. Too many layoffs. Hyperinflation. Starving kids. Many kids it is the only meal that they get.

[@Dennis-nc3vw]

Look at what you ate for breakfast today. Unless you went to Wendy's or something I garuantee you'd find it cost you under a dollar if you did the math. Yet I bet these programs cost about $20 per student. No one in America is genuinely too poor to afford breakfast. Just let that money trickle down.

[@bannedagain1784]

Supply chain issues lol well who's fault was that by telling adults you can't work unless you get jabbed

[@princessjohnson4551]

Oh really wow oh wow

[@billstevens9190]

All we have now days are thief, working today. When given money u need alot of people watching each other. Because of the kind of people.

[@sbyrstall]

Joe Biden:. I did that.

[@billstevens9190]

These people that taken schools launch money , they should look in their back. And homes. So is anything going to happen with the billions. $$$$ $$$ $$$$$$$$. So who taken the money? $$$$$$

[@mariadoeslife4093]

I wish that K thru 12 education came with food included. It’s hard to learn when you’re hungry.

[@mariadoeslife4093]

I was the hungry kid. Sometimes families are in tough positions.

[@samsonkivuyo9548]

Yap, we are busy fighting Russia so kids should wait, $13 Bil is the price tag, I am just imagining how many kids that much could have fed

[@freshbaby697]

I thought the lottery funded schools What happened

WHO IS EDWARD JOHN NOBLE?

[@CA-tk8yn]

Most of the students who will lose the free meals, never qualified anyway. Their parents make enough money and don't need it!!!! This doesn't effect the poor students!

[@GrandmaBev64]

Sneaky FRS!!

[@345mrse]

Big talk, big lip news.

[@cassa6416]

I was under impression kids are in need of free food. But then I see most of them either don't eat it, or throw it away. I found tons of discarded packs in my garbage can daily when some only took a milk or a muffin and threw away the others. most got lunch and threw away all the food in garbage. what a waste. I have been to four different schools in the last few years. all the same.

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

Presumptive.

[@jobecki]

I see it every day the kids get a free lunch and seriously toss it away

[@mefasolatea5853]

Sick and petty. Attack kids great. Live to work, pay taxes, gas, electricity, clothing, transportation, Now the state will take food out of our kids mouth. Not fair.
