#school lunches

"School districts currently work with processing companies to offer cashless payment systems for families. But the companies can charge “processing fees” for each transaction. By law, students who are eligible for reduced price meals cannot be charged more than 30 cents for breakfast and 40 cents for lunch. With processing fees, however, families can end up paying 10 times that amount. Processing companies charge as much as $3.25 or 4% to 5% per transaction, according to a recent report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau."

They’re now eating this:

Turns out you can’t turn <$8 a serving into <$3 a serve without serving the poorest kids in the county literal slop.

Austerity in action. We did this so landlords like our Prime Minister don’t have to pay their taxes when they profit off selling assets in their property portfolio.

He’s since sold three houses.

That profit came directly from the mouths of hungry kids.

Now that Donald Trump has directed Elon Musk and DOGE to look into the Department of Defense, we HAVE TO look into this

The Department of Defense is providing school lunches in America. Just imagine the secret deals going on with this….

“I thought DOD stood for something else, but you're saying it's definitely Department of Defense providing the school lunches?”

‌

“Yeah”

‌

“Who mandates this? The state and the federal government?”

‌

“Yeah.”

‌

—“Mandate who you buy food from?”

‌

“Yeah”

‌

“They'll give us hundreds of thousands of dollars, but we can only spend it in their channels. — There there specific companies that you're allowed to buy through

‌

We purchase through DOD. They have their own ordering guide, and we purchased through them. But they they work out the contracts throughout the General Mills, etc”

‌

“Sucks for you guys and it sucks for us and it sucks for the kids. And in the same respect, if the Department of Defense is supplying the food and they are the ones who are negotiating these contracts with these mega corporations like, you know, General Mills and Yeah. Nestle, all of these.

‌

Right. Then they are incentivized to get the lowest quality at the highest, you know, price. So so then the more processed, the better for them. So, again, it seems like the only options you guys have are the things that are predetermined anyway, and so your options are limited.”

‌

You have to watch this whole video, this is CRAZY.

Why is the DoD providing school lunch contracts in America?

You want the 10 Commandments in classrooms, but feeding hungry children is where YOU draw the line?

So “thou shalt not steal” on the wall, but stealing food security from kids is acceptable?

Miss me with that performative Christianity.

Jesus fed people.

He didn’t stand around preaching morality while children sat there hungry.

If your religion is more about control, optics, and political theater than compassion, then be honest about what you’re really worshipping.

The Saskatchewan government has signed a $16-million deal with Ottawa to expand school food programs. The agreement will see the federal government invest the money over three years. Ottawa says the initiative expands on Saskatchewan’s food program, allowing more students to benefit. It says families in the province with two children are expected to save an average $800 a year on grocery bills.
