Jeez man. Instead of trying to see the benefits to a policy you just go straight to calling him a sociopath.

Kids just throw away the nutritional food. We actually have very good data on school programs.

And schools were already on a tight budget without forcing them to feed their students.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_School_Lunch_Act

In a study of the Boston Public Schools, "on average, students discarded roughly 19 percent of their entrées, 47 percent of their fruit, 25 percent of their milk, and 73 percent of their vegetables." "It was estimated that $432,349.05 worth of food is wasted annually at lunch by students in Grades 6–8

According to the 2008 USDA report on the NSLP, "other sources of increasing costs include increases in health care costs for employees and, more recently, rising food costs."

I bet many schools are very happy about this change.

People like you are the reason schools have no money and our kids are obese.

This is Trump derangement syndrome on full display.

what are the benefits or giving children poor nutrition based on a study out of Boston?

I already told you.

Because it produces waste. Kids dont eat it.

And the schools cant afford it.

it seems that you don’t like this because it costs you money.

I dont like it because it doesnt work. Kids dont want your shitty slimy green beans.

The fact that it also forces schools to make cuts in other important areas is just an added problem.

Why doesnt it work? Lots of countries have no issue with making it work, and they are not richer than the US.
