[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t matter if we think the food is good or not but that it’s a available for kids. I also don’t like some kids getting singled out.[/quote]

Nobody gets ‘singled out’.  The kids get the money and can get food at school as needed.

We don’t need a wasteful program that feeds crap food to all kids, even the ones in Potomac, whose parents can more than afford to buy their kids lunches.  [/quote]

We need a system with better food, period.  The school lunch program is so intertwined with farm subsidies that I have little confidence that it will ever really improve.  But so long as free meals are only provided to sone students, the rest of taxpayers will want to keep those costs as low as possible, so the quality will never improve.  History tells us that there is more support for programs that benefit everyone, not just a subset of people.

I’m not looking for “free”, I’d just rather pay for better school lunches through higher taxes than on a daily basis. There’s a lot of wasted costs in administering the free lunch program too.[/quote]
