This is America. No person should go HUNGRY!!!!!!! In America no school aged child should have to pay for lunch. Good nutrition is key to a good education. I don't care if a child can pay or not. They are required to attend school. Lunch should be provided at NO CHARGE!!!!! They are in school most of the day. They need nutrition. And please don't give me that shit about parents should be able to pay that can afford it. To Hell with that. If Americans and its Legislative body can advocate for the latest weaponry, then they should be able to feed our children. Anybody know what one of those idle Tanks they are not using cost?? what the latest Drone cost??? What the latest raise our Legislative body gave themselves???? To take their food and throw it away?? Replace with milk and a piece of fruit???? Bullshit!!!!! This is a story that is truly HORRIBLE!!!! There will be those who don't agree with me, I really don't care. I will say it again. No person should be Hungry in America. The old saying is there are no Free Lunches. For American school aged children THERE SHOULD BE!!!!
