[quote=Anonymous]Kids who do not eat school lunch can still bring in their own lunch, right? I assume schools would adjust how much they serve based on how much is being eaten, just as they do now. So food/money wouldn't be wasted on those kids. The financial loss would be from kids who do eat school lunch and whose parents can afford to pay. Imo it's worth it if that means all kids eat. Kids from families who qualify can get free lunch, sure, but the kids at risk of not eating are likely the kids who are being neglected. I remember when the Ruby Franke story came out, there was a discussion on how her 6 year old daughter went without lunch at school. Franke put the 6 year old in charge of making her own lunch and when the kid didn't, Franke refused to bring her a lunch. The natural consequence to forgetting, she apparently said, was for the child to go hungry.[/quote]
