What’s the difference?  It all comes from taxpayer money.  You can I are paying for it either way.

The fact that so much food gets thrown away should be a concern for everyone.  [/quote]

I’d rather pay for lunches than a lot of other wasteful spending.  The food quality is a different issue.  [/quote]

You are happy paying for food that simply gets thrown away?  That sounds like wasteful spending to me.  And definitely not environmentally friendly.  Or do we not care about all the trash that gets generated by the food that is tossed daily?

I think we should all advocate for less wasteful spending.  [/quote]

You think kids don't throw away lunches sent from home too?  Yes, higher quality lunches would be much better but that's a different issue from free lunches for all.[/quote]

If a kid is throwing away their lunch from home, then hopefully the parent realizes it and can make adjustments so that less food gets thrown away on a daily basis.

What is happening now is we have tons of food simply being thrown a way on a regular basis.  And taxpayers are paying for it.[/quote]

You realize parents also buy/pay for lunch.  I am not concerned at all being a tax payer and paying for kids lunches.  Of all the things to pay for, feeding kids should be a top priority.

You are talking about a separate issue which is food quality.[/quote]
