So that's what caused brain damage
That sounds better than what we had. We used to joke that the district superintendent must own a raisin ranch because they put raisins in *everything*. Well, not the milk. But we had what was considered a square meal back then.... some meat or bean entree, a "starch" like mashed potatoes, a veggie, and a cookie or jello for dessert. With raisins, of course. Fast forward to today. I was appalled at what my g-kids were served when I'd go have lunch with them. Cheese pizza, a dab of salad that was mostly iceberg lettuce, some tired raw broccoli and carrot sticks, or three tiny "chicken" nuggets, tater tots, canned veggie that no one chose. They served ala carte so the kids could pick what they wanted. I was happy to see that a lot of kids did choose salad.
Black kids will miss those Chicken Nuggets!
What always fascinates me is how conservatives pretty much all have a form of omniscience when it comes to what poor people around them are spending their money on. I can't tell you how many times I've heard anecdotes like this, where people say they witnessed others using SNAP cards/food stamps to buy stuff they consider inappropriate or unwise.
Maybe it's just me, but I've literally never seen someone using a SNAP card, despite doing plenty of food shopping, often in urban areas with an economic mix of customers. Maybe I'm just not as nosy as some, but unless someone in line ahead of me is wasting a lot of my time counting out pennies or fishing for a bunch of coupons, I don't even notice how people pay.
Yep. We had actual cooks in the kitchen back then. We loved the "lunch ladies". Meat, fish, poultry, greens, rice, potatoes, desserts...all cooked THERE. Now it's all the frozen junk food I guess. They'd be better off bringing lunch from home. A simple sandwich, a fruit and drink.
It's simply the thread we're all discussing. Nothing wrong with pointing out ways that poorer families could cut cost of their food budget and make healthier lunches for their kids to bring to school with them.
They need the lunch ladies back. they'd save money and the kids would be geting the meals they need....and deserve....
Schools should not provide hot lunches. Schools should only have to supply the teachers and resources needed to teach their students. Meals should not have to be provided. The problem now is that free and reduced rate hot lunches are currently offered in many schools, but most of it ends up in the trash can. It is a huge waste of food. Kids won't eat the food that is served!
End the lunch time and end school day at 2 instead of 3! Save shit loads of money!

For poorer families, school lunches are a cost-effective option -- and it also gives their kids the benefit of a hot lunch. Moreover, if the poorer parents are working a lot of hours, it saves them a bit of time that they can be using to, say, help their kids with homework, etc.
You mean like the links you provided to the studies you referenced?
Dont have kids if u cant feed um!!!! Idiot!
No, it's getting for nothing what responsible people provide for themselves. It's not cost effective to those doing the paying.
Most of them are too stupid to be able to help their kids. It's why they're poor in many cases. They function on a level lower than their kid's grade in school.
That's the point I've been making. All it does is creates another generation of freeloaders. What they learn is all they have to do is be unwilling to provide what they should be providing and bleeding hearts will support the government forcing responsible people that already do the right thing to feed their kids.
