A group funded by soda companies is relentlessly arguing that we can’t afford to serve healthy food to children in schools.
They are arguing because of “affordability” concerns, we must continue serving kids Doritos, doughnuts, and low-quality chicken nuggets every day.
Every American should be outraged by this argument.
We never had a funding problem with school lunches or military food. We have a corruption problem where Big Food saw the military and schools as piggy banks for junk food (as they openly and brazenly described on earnings calls)
Soldiers get a meal card for $39 a day for food. Through political will and busting through bureaucracy, the Army is now able to serve fresh salmon, roasted tomatoes, watermelon, and rice for $11.45 - all while making the vendor (in this case Compass) money.
When it comes to schools, the United States currently spends more per student on lunch than almost any developed country in the world. Japan spends 40% less per student on school food and the country barely grows food - yet the comparisons between what they serve children and we do in schools should make every American embarrassed.
Thank God we finally have an admin the has channeled the concerns of moms and is taking on the ridiculous argument that have enough money to not poison our children and soldiers will be dismissed out of hand. We just didn’t have political courage before.

Someone sneezed so I said bless you & then I sneezed literally a minute later & she didn’t say it back. Be careful out there guys there’s a lot of evil spirited people walking among us in society
We’re living in a childless, extended-adolescence hell, listening to unbearable cunts opine endlessly about theory and trending issues from the comforts of their bubbles, despite having almost no experience of anything beyond running their fucking mouths to people just like them.
