If that was the only opportunity for your kid to eat today, I bet you wouldn’t have forgotten.

Country Day had Uber black cars driven by guys in hazmat suits deliver Waygu beef tenderloin and truffle Mac and cheese to their students homes.

This is ridiculous that the schools and workers have to do this. What do these imaginary children that can't eat at home do on the weekends? Summer? School Holidays?

Nothing but pandering and feel good BS from stay at home FB Karens.

In most areas kids under 18 can get a free meal anytime of year.

The Sodexo employees appreciate the work

Wrong. It’s 18 and under, and all you need us ID (so they say). They’re not even verifying if you’re a student or not. They’re just giving away breakfasts and lunches. I’m not even sure if they limit it beyond that.

I saw a woman interviewed on tv about the free meal program.

She said "yeah that way I don't have to cook two meals so I figured I'd take advantage of it".

Maybe she needs them but you don't say what she said.

They’re handing out free PB&J and produce. I think a littler perspective is in order here.

I really don’t think it’s worth getting in a twist about if a few kids are getting a $1.15 meal that they don’t “need”.

Don’t need any kind of kid’s ID in my district. Kids don’t have to be present. One adult can show up, fill out a form where you list the kids’ names, and pick up enough meals for the whole neighborhood.

So when you go to the school, they give you a breakfast for the NEXT morning and a lunch for that day.

That way the baby mommas dont have to get up early to go get breakfast.

Today they had a hamburger, chips and an orange with white or chocolate milk for lunch.

For breakfast, they got a bag of cereal, milk, apple sauce and Graham crackers.

No id or forms. Wife pulled up with car load of kids she is watching and they handed her the bags.

I've tried the last two days to get my kids to let me take them to get a free lunch. Both said it was probably going to be gross and didn't want it.

I want to beat their asses right now.

To me it's more about the labor and utilities costs, not the actual cost of goods (peanut butter and jelly, milk).


Is it really that much though?

A food service worker makes roughly $15/hr. That person can probably assemble a meal every minute. So that’s maybe $0.25/meal in labor costs...

Probably similar for the bus driver and the gas. So we’re almost certainly adding less than $1 per meal in labor and transportation. Utilities...I don’t know. I can’t imagine it costs that much to keep the lights on in the cafeteria for a couple hours a day.

Maybe you have more accurate numbers than my super-rough guess-timates, but I’m really not seeing where this would cost an amount of money that anyone should be ticked off about...especially given the fact that it was already in the budget.
