Ensure all children in public schools within the United States are given a meal daily regardless of the ability to pay.

Created by L.H. on January 30, 2014

Utah and Texas have become trendsetters in throwing away school lunches and/or not giving lunches to kids in public schools due to their inability to pay with some students being deficit as low as 30 cents! Lunch is sometimes the only meal a child can expect per a day in poverty stricken households across America. Children should not be the victims of financial issues in a public school system. Lunch should be provided to all students regardless of the student and/or family's ability to pay for that lunch. If prisoners can be given three meals per a day we can afford to feed our children at least one meal per a day during the 180 calendar days children attend school in the United States. This will greatly help reduce childhood hunger issues.
