Abstract:
In this article the author is discussing the implications from made from scratch school lunches to the more modernized premade and heated up school lunches. One of the debates was that finding funding for school lunches was hard because it would normally cost $2.91 to make a single school lunch, the student paid $2.60 for the lunch, and if it was a free lunch the state would only pay back $2.50. The author argues that this impacts students from lower economic backgrounds because these students normally eat through free lunch programs. Lastly, the author discusses that the two major reasons that school lunches became a thing was to teach children about nutrition but to also Americanize immigrant children.
