Keep in mind, that the overwhelming amount of children who eat a subsidized school lunch, have no dinner.
The children in our nearby elementary school were given home-made sack lunches to take home for dinner by most of the teachers. Nearly all of them ate it on the way home, many saying they did so because older siblings or parents would take the sacks away from them when they arrived home and eat them themselves. So they ate it on the bus in order to have something.
No wonder they fail most exams.
They are food deprived, and the school lunches are fairly full of cheap starchy items.

If kids are reporting not receiving dinner at home, the parent(I assume just a single mother) should be criminally charged. Same goes for breakfast.

Sometimes, maybe. But I’m not a big fan of bringing criminal charges against people who can’t afford enough food for their children.

What about parents taking the sack lunches given to kids by schools for dinner and eating it themselves while the kid starves?

That is definitely a bad situation. But again, I don’t think the best response to families who can’t afford enough food is to bring criminal charges.

If they are that hungry, then why do they throw away so much of their lunch? And we were told they have to be given the full meal even if they say they don’t want something. When I was a kid one could tell the lunch lady if we didn’t want beans or something, and she wouldn’t put it on or tray. God Bless, Memaw

Fast food and snack food WAS my lunch in grade and high school. I graduated high school before the year 2000.

Comparing to other nations, our lunches are pathetic… this is what our children are being given in the best case scenario, many areas, stones would be an improvement:

Sadly many American children wouldn’t eat those meals. My mom was a lunch lady, one time they served baked chicken. One of the students asked her if it was part of a human.

I’ve always been suprised they were allowed to have flavored milk.

This makes me wonder what parents are serving their kids at home.

Maybe parents are tired from a full day’s work and just give the kids whatever they want instead of insisting that they try healthy foods. Result: picky kids

Have you read the book French Kids Eat Everything?

Shows you the difference between American kids and French kids. It’s not just French kids, most kids around the world do not get away with the behavior and attitude a lot of American kids display. It’s like a lot of American households are ran by and for the kids.
