[QUOTE="Sportello, post: 2185263, member: 55299"] That is not what you said. Perhaps you should have said that, instead of this: [SIZE=3][I]In New York public schools [B]everyone [/B]is eligible for the free breakfast and lunch program regardless of income. The only requirement is that they must select 3 different food items and are required to pay if they choose fewer than 3.[/I][/SIZE] Because that is not a true statement. It is true that well over 10 million children nationwide get free or reduced price meals. I checked for my school district and others I've lived in. None are available for district wide free meals. At any rate, we pay about $3b/year for the program, nationwide. I bet we go through that many Hellfires a month. Why wouldn't we want to do everything thing you can to hopefully get a healthy, intelligent populace? It's not a mandatory program. You can still have breakfast with your children/grandchildren and pack their lunch. They aren't forced to eat. [/QUOTE]
