Seymour is announcing cuts to the school lunch program today.
They are expected to be mainly a change from hot, healthy, and cooked meals, to prepackaged food.
To cut costs.

May his food always be spat on, anywhere he goes.

@pezmico It is such a false economy.

We will always be poor while we have people like this running the country.

If we paid for EVERYONE at school to have a good healthy meal, we would all benefit.

Very out of touch of me, but I'd assume if you knew your kids was getting two proper meals a day at school, one would be more likely to send them. Especially if you are having trouble affording food.

@jonoabroad 💯
Feeding people, and particularly kids, is not a cost.

It's a long term investment, and a very productive one at that.

@pezmico like education and other things.

I'm just over being cruel to people 'because of the economy' - it's never the well off that "we" are cruel to.
