[quote=Anonymous]Thank you for this post, OP.  It was actually more interesting than I thought it would be and I now support universal free school lunch.  I hadn't considered the cost of running the FRL program and the greater simplicity and efficiency of just providing meals for everyone.

I agree with the poster who said they'd support universal free lunch if they do something about the nutrition and quality of the meals.  Ketchup should not be considered a vegetable.  4 fried chicken nuggets is not nutrition.  USDA puts out daily nutrition guidelines....they should be ensuring the food under their program is actually healthy and nutritious.  We need to start by going back to preparing food on-site at each school and get rid of a lot of the pre-packaged processed crap that is contributing greatly to the obesity problem.  Concurrently, we need to re-instate more recess and movement breaks and more substantial PE programs through 12th grade.  Why only 2 years (4 semesters, so only one full year) of PE in high school?  The point is to instill a healthy lifestyle....but apparently just until you're 15 or 16.[/quote]
