Free meals for all is just stupid. I never could understand why the children of wealthy parents didn't have to pay for school lunch.
Our kids and grandkids at breakfast at home before school. What the schools serve for breakfast is ridiculous. A single granola bar is hardly adequate.
When my grandson was in kindergarten and first grade my daughter always packed him a lunch from home as the quality and quantity of gov't school lunches was a joke. By the time he entered 2nd grade, lunches from home were not allowed! Now they are reverting back. The liberal idiocy never ceases to amaze me.
Give them an old fashioned P&J, chips or cookies, vegs/fruit and a drink and they'll be much better off; or bologna and cheese, ham and cheese .... so much better than the crappola that the schools serve. The lunches keep fine even here in FL with a small ice pack tucked into the lunch box.
