[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do lunch duty in an elementary school and the amount of food that I saw go to waste this year was absolutely appalling! At least 50% of most kid's lunches ended up in the trash, and for many that number was more like 80%.  My school has a FARMS rate of about 30%, but many more kids would order the (free) school lunch. As a taxpayer, I don't feel like my money should be used to provide a free lunch to kids whose families are able to afford trips to Europe! I understand that it's easier for parents to not have to pack a lunch, but free lunches should be for the kids who really need it due to economic reasons. [/quote]

This exactly.  I have seen the same.

And yes, it’s easier to have your kid buy lunch than it is to pack it.  But, the people who can afford to pay for it, should do so.  The parents in Potomac, who are vacationing in Europe and live in multi-million dollar homes need to pay for the convenience of school lunch (if they choose to utilize that option).[/quote]
