re: Thoughts on kids and school lunches

Good post Santa Fe. I think a school lunch should be budgeted in for every kid if they want it. No stigma. This includes private and parochial schools as part of the foundation funding. The food should be prepared hot at each school and the food should be good and nutritious. If the kid or parents prefer to send lunch that’s fine. Give the excess food to the Council on Aging or other charitable cause that feeds adults or elderly poor. I’m sure this is doable and will not result in any significant cost increase to the taxpayer.

Make sure the kids are fed and hopefully as well educated as possible. We provide enough sports equipment for the kids in the budget so why not food?
