Nobody should be getting a free lunch.

I will say this though, in highschool when i was a junior/senior my parents stopped giving me lunch money and I had to buy it on my own. I didnt mind, it made me feel like an adult. Some kids got free lunch, unfortunately I didnt.

I don't mind kids who need it getting a free lunch. Of all the waste in government, feeding kids is not the hill to die on

Can't believe people actually want to deny kids food. The kids who get it need it and not that anyone in this forum cares, but there is a stigma attached to the kids who get it, especially if they're in the minority. That said, it was a godsend for the one school year my son got it when I was unemployed for a few months following the crash.

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools and residential child care institutions. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or no-cost lunches to children each school day. The program was established under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, signed into law by President Harry Truman in 1946.

About 7.1 million children participated in the NSLP in its first year. Since then, the program has reached millions of children nationwide: 1970: 22.4 million children; 1980: 26.6 million children; 1990: 21.1 million children; 2000: 27.3 million children; 2010: 31.8 million children; and 2016: 30.4 million children.
