Congress: Bringing Kids Gross Lunches Since 1973 | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
School cafeteria menus may differ across the nation, but all the meals are fundamentally the same: Mystery meat, dollop of processed goop, carton of milk or sugar-y juice, and a side of soggy french fries. While the students, teachers, and curriculum in schools consistently change, cafeterias continue to dish out the same, abysmal lunches year after year.
The reason schools stay so loyal to their processed, frozen crap is that Congress hasn’t raised the federal reimbursement rate for school meals since 1973. But that could be about to change. The hearing to reauthorize the Child Nutrition Act began today. The bill being debated before the House Education and Labor Committee, the Improving Nutrition for America’s Children Act, is an $8 billion initiative designed to improve the accessibility and quality of school meals. The bill already has bipartisan support, and most folks expect it to pbum.
If pbumed, the bill would boost school meals’ accessibility, increasing the number of students enrolled in breakfast and lunch programs and creating more summer and after-school meal plans. It also aims to promote better quality and safety of lunches served. The bill even outlines plans for farm-to-school initiatives, which would help kids know where their food comes from and provide more fresh, healthy produce for cafeteria meals.
