Nice.
Step 2: Make the meals actually healthy instead of garbage food prepared by the lowest-bid contractor.

Step 1: calories for all.
Step 2: good calories.
All Conservatives: "OMG NOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
I’m a conservative and I strongly support this. I just want the food to be healthy and not garbage.
I’d like to see breakfast included as well.
A healthy diet is important for learning. We need to invest in our next generation
When I see comments like this I always have to wonder.. so, you don't oppose the government using it's resources to support the well-being of it's citizens. So then what is making you conservative? Your desire to oppose other fundamental rights and liberties of others? Wanting corporations to continue to steal from the wealth of the many for the sake of unimaginable wealth for the few? A fear of others who freely exist with other values then your own and the inability to cope with their success? Or thrive in their perils as a way to compensate for the inadequacies you feel in your own life? The desire to maintain the status quo of women and minorities being subservient to old white men? To control other people's bodies or worrying an unhealthy amount about their genitals and what they do with them?
Its more like:
All Conservatives: "How can we give away this trash food for free!? Think of the children!? We have to put a high price on it so it's harder for children to get!!!"
Don't our taxes pay for it? Don't other civilized countries already do this? So how is it framed as "free?" We should already have these policies implemented. Republicans made this country into a joke.
Free at point of consumption is ALWAYS implied. In capitalism nothing can really be free
It's just how the media paints it. "Look at these freeloaders, it's free!" No, we paid for it. Which makes it doubly insulting to see Republicans try to take away what we already own.
Nice
Christ that headline is so depressing.
This can and should be a federal thing. You'd think indebting kids for basic nourishment would be worth threatening to block appropriations for war or something, but it's not.
