Children now get free meals at state schools in 8 states

I had critique like this in my post, but felt since no one else was mentioning it, I wouldn’t. But thank you for doing so!

My kids, now teachers in the district they graduated from, moan about how the food was made heathly but it’s a good thing. Unfortunately, I have seen the quality vastly falling over the past 2-3 years. I’m guessing it’s a “lowest bidder” situation. I do believe some standards should exist to pull it up. At least we’ve got something to start from though.

We don’t have your issue, with required takes, but that’s not to say there aren’t weird bits. My biggest ?? is the massive focus on cheese in the offerings recently. So many cheese breads and mozzarella cheese sticks coming in. Guessing this is to get it as a veggie option. These are the days I send a packed lunch.
