USDA extends universal free lunch through next school year, bringing relief to millions of food-insecure families

Facing a September cutoff, the agency announces it will reimburse schools at a higher rate and expand school nutrition programs to all students.

You think upper middle class kids eat cafeteria slop instead of bringing their own lunch?

Sadly, I'm old enuf to remember when school lunches were tasty and freshly made on site rather than being reheated garbage.

Awesome. Let's hope it continues indefinitely - children in the care of a public institute should be fed regardless of their parents' financial situation.

Why don’t we make them better while we’re at it

Wise to make it permanent going forward

Another easy reversal of terrible Trump policies by this administration.

A "free lunch," you say? 🤔

This is a Puerto Rican school lunch. I had these all throughout K-12, and they were all cost-free to students and staff (breakfasts also if you arrived at least 15 minutes before the morning bell rang).

The free school lunch program already has categorical eligibility for SNAP participants and and those below 185% of the poverty level

Do families above 185% of the FPL need free school meals?

I think 135 is for free and 185% for reduced. Although tbf if a family that isn't in destitute poverty can't afford the 40 cents reduced price lunch I would be incredibly worried about child neglect.

If everyone is legally entitled to a free lunch, schools would be obligated to produce enough meals for every eligible student, whether they eat it or not. This would possibly over double the cost of the school lunch program, increase food waste, and do nothing to help poor families. Forgive me if I would rather see those billions either not spent at all (there's an idea...) or directed towards programs that actually serve the public, instead of another case of politicians spending money just for a headline and not even helping people in the process.

I'm pretty sure that in 1st period or homeroom students choose whether they are having lunch that day and you get a ticket or whatnot and then they lunch ladies know what how many to cook for.

Why would that worry you? Republicans are masters of mass cbild neglect.

Given how low the FPL is yes, the FPL needs to be redone with a new formula, the formula is outdated and archaic from a different time period with a fundamentally different economy and living conditions.
