[quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]These programs benefits only a few and vast majority of money is wasted. Look at who is contracted to supply, package and serve food.. you will know more.[/b][/quote]

Yep.  Follow the money.  Lots of people making good money in these programs.  Taxpayer money going straight into their pockets, while the food goes straight in the trash.

But in MoCo, if you question these types of initiatives, you’re labeled as a ‘child-hater’ or something to that effect.  [/quote]
