[QUOTE="Blasteh, post: 465724, member: 30540"] Yes and no. How is this going to be funded? Where are the funds coming from? I didn't bother to read any article. A good number of people live paycheck to paycheck, this would definitely help out those families. A school around me actually started trailing this project. Sadly, it's not doing so hot nor getting good feedback. Due to the lack of school funding, they are forced to buy in bulk and stay within their budget, which clearly isn't big. The food they are providing provides little to no nutritional value to the students. It's a great idea if the school has the money and budget for it. One thing that has always been harped on me is that nothing in this world is free, it comes at a price. Whether that price may be subsidized by parents through monthly payments, taxes, or something else. Let's be real, a school/education facility, whether you like it or not, is a business. They're not in it to lose money. They're not going to break even with the supplies they buy. If they do, they still have to pay people to package and distribute this product. When it starts to become more expensive for parents to pay into this program than to send their kids to school with nutritional meals, there's where it's a no. As stated above, it's not going to be free, as much as you believe it is. In conclusion, if they can provide nutritional meals to the students at little to no cost to the parent and/or taxpayer, it's a great idea. Logically, I don't know the reality of that. [/QUOTE]
