"The average cost to prepare a school lunch has increased 10% since the 2007-2008 school year, according to a report published today by the School Nutrition Association (SNA). Results from "Heats On: School Meals Under Financial Pressure" show the average cost rose from $2.63 to $2.90 for schools to prepare a nutritionally balanced school lunch that meets federal nutrition standards. Over the same timeframe, schools received only a 4.3% increase in the federal reimbursement for each free lunch provided to low income students. This funding gap could cost America's school nutrition programs a potential loss of at least $4.5 million per school day, based on 30 million school lunches provided daily."The SNA is and has been an IMHO worse than useless organization.
They are committed to the conventional stupidity that has been killing kids for years and would not know proper nutrition if it hit its members in their pieholes.
More money thrown at this matter will not do squat.
Less money will.
Fewer Calories cost fewer dollars.
And there are no such things as "healthy" foods.
Paying for this myth is downright stupid.
As is the SNA.
