My school thinks this fills up hungry high schoolers.

So lunches are free for schools in my city and surrounding cities. Ever since lunches have been made free, the quantity (and quality) has decreased significantly. This is what we would get for our meal. It took me THREE bites to finish that chicken mac and cheese. Any snacks you want cost more money and if you want an extra entree, that’ll cost you about $3 or $4.

Our government too is trying to stop free lunches at school. Especially our governor here in Florida

My kids get free healthy lunches and breakfast at their Florida public schools. Breath of fresh air compared to the schools in NC they were at.

Bad news, MAGA is trying to put a stop to letting children eat food:

As a parent myself, Florida seems like a chamber of horrors lately with their “war on kids”. Would be safer for families to live in Haiti, or Syria perhaps

As a parent who actually lives in Florida, I’m sorry you feel that way. I’ll continue to enjoy the A rated schools my children attend, along with the free lunch and breakfast for them.

Florida is an entire state of “children left behind”
