I wouldn’t be surprised if it was easier and cheaper to just to give it to every kid instead of trying to determine who qualifies. Kids of limited means have been getting free/discounted school meals for decades. I have a hard time thinking that it’s created a bureaucratic nightmare that we are just uncovering and solving in 2024 by throwing hands up and feeding everyone for convenience reasons.

All the while imagining yourself to be of higher “quality”. A kid’s family being middle or upper class is by no means a guarantee that they have food in the morning/afternoon. Every argument against universal free lunch boils down to selfishness. Every single one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids are kids. How are you going to approach their dinner? Not care so long as the free lunch is available? There’s no guarantee they will have evening food. If you are a “quality” person you will account for dinner. Otherwise, you are what you decry. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Buffalo Posted yesterday at 12:55 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:55 AM 6 hours ago, Roundybout said: Because it benefits society as a whole to feed kids. Surely even you are smart enough to recognize that. Thanks for proving my point though. The current policy of feeding everyone in Orange County is a huge contract for Sysco, who provides schools with the lower quality fruit and vegetables that they can't sell to people. By federal law we can allow schools to go a local vendor to provide better foods, it must be one of the large companies that fulfil certain requirements that ensure the lunches are not good. We throw out so much food daily it is disgusting but we passed the law a few years back without a plan on how to make it work properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to ensure high quality is at the local level, but that is not allowed by federal laws, so how do you remedy that? Or do you think DC can control what lunch is available at the 210 schools in my county? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife has taught for 20+ years and abd before we went to all free lunches people had to be means tested, which was not that big a deal and was never truly verified. The issue came up where a multiple time pro bowl NFL player had a kid at my wife's school who qualified because the father was a deadbeat dad despite being worth 10+ million. Why do I have to pay to feed his kid? And this is a true situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not talking about that, we’re talking about school lunches. Roundy’s manifesto for government excellence is pro-food m-f 8am-2:20pm, save vacation days, days of religious observance, carve outs for teacher meetings/district events, snow days and those days that would have been snow days had it snowed on certain days when it didn’t snow. It’s sort of a long campaign slogan but you’ll get some votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
