Is this a dig at MsRB for complaining about the price of cheese going up each week?

Giving away free lunch to public school kids all over MA does NOT help the price of groceries go down that's for sure.

Giving away a free lunch to all public school kids also doesn't mean people don't need to grocery shop anymore. Just Redplum being a fool again

It's possible to complain about the cost of food and still be able to afford it...just like it's possible to complain about the cost of housing and still own one

I complain about both and still afford both. I don't mind that some of my tax dollars go to support free school lunches for those who need them but to pay it for all, even those who aren't going to use the free lunch or those who truly don't need free lunch seems absurd to me. Tax dollars going to support anything migrant related is absurd to me as well unless of course it's a program to keep them out.

Yes poor kids have been getting free lunch for decades now. Like you said, the question is why did everyone in MA need the free lunch.

Agree with you on the migrants as well. It is not our problem to help the world's poor. We actually DO help the worlds poor by sending the money but it is absurd to basically invite them to live here and pay for them!

I don't pay too much attention to the price of cheese so not sure if this is a good price (other than I did notice recently the price of cream cheese seems to have spiked). Maybe MsRB can let us know if this is a good deal or not?!

I am not sure either, but a 1/2 pound is a big chunk and it's delicious.

I was thinking more of its now $5 for a very small piece of goat cheese that used to be $4. Huge deal no. But why?

Also a block of Parmesan is quite a bit more than it used to be.
