I drove my kids to picture day the other day (bc of Covid we had to go in). As we drove out the other line of cars was picking up their lunches, packed for the week. My girls asked what it was and I explained the SNAP program. They were shocked, amazed, interested and happy at the same time. So confused as it was Beverly Hills. Yes, even in BH, people are on snap. Lunch is otherwise not free, unless you qualify. They happily took their lunch last year. And were glad that during Covid, people were still getting a loaf of whole grain, milk, cheese, eggs (and other things we could not see). They asked to volunteer but I said they couldn't bc we need to keep things like that private. But I was glad they atleast asked. Again, even in BH people are in need right now, which I was also glad they saw. Sometimes there is something as a free lunch and I am glad my taxes go towards that!

@RicoWings while probably the most racist thing I have heard all day (and what a day it has been!), I hear you. I probably would put it differently, as likely, so would you, if it were not online and anonymous. And there are about a 100 different ways, at least, that that issue should be tackled. Nonetheless, I think those numbers at a school in BH are likely pretty low. I was surprised that the line was as big as it was! And knowing the community, I will go out on a limb and say that they are actually producing more than you would think around here. They are, sadly, just scamming the system! (Picking up snap in a Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz, or the like, is pretty ridiculous!).

@JENDALL714 Unfortunately there are thousands of kids in cities all over the country who count on that lunch just as much as it is counted in the state aid that they get. They are even now getting lunch, picked up weekly due to Covid, as it is am important part of their daily nutrition, which is overseen by a tax funded committee and part of board of education. Yes they go to school for education, however they do also go to school and, if eligible, receive free lunch. Free to them, not free to the taxpayers, so it is also the school's job to feed kids. Which is why so much is spent on lunch and it's administration. I don't know how many kids you have or how much time or money you spend on their lunches--or their ages and whether or not they eat it all daily, trade it, or throw it in the bin--but for many parents, and many children, the economic and social aspects of "hot lunch" has a much bigger impact than most realize.

@_BiscuitNinja_ EVERYONE loves pizza day!!! That will never change! And since you are 11 (does your Mom know you are here???), when you get to middle school or HS, if there is a problem with lunch and you and your friends are not eating it (whether or not your parents have to pay for it), speak with your Principal and the head of PTA, and ask to sit on the student body. Then you can be the liaison between the students and the school to reform your lunch program! You will help your friends, your school, and yourself, as it will look great on your college application that you got involved! That is how being an advocate, an organizer, and a leader starts! Many a student body presidential election has been won based on running on a platform that includes lunch reform! And Pizza Day!! That is how you can start to change the world--it starts with pizza day! Remember that! (I am not joking either!). Good luck!! (And again, does your mom know you are here??? 😉)
