School Lunch?

13. A lot of people don't realize that the School Lunch Program was a National Security issue

"Congress created the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) after an investigation into the health of young men rejected in the World War II draft showed a connection between physical deficiencies and childhood malnutrition. In response, Congress enacted the 1946 National School Lunch Act as a “measure of national security, to safeguard the health and well-being of the Nation’s children.”

It turns out that we had a hard time fielding an Army for National Defense during World War II because we found so many of America's children were malnourished, so Congress enacted the NSLP as a National Security initiative.

Just think, Republicans want to return us to those grand ole' days.

Hard to believe that folks 70 years ago were more forward thinking than we are today!
