LoL'in because this probably fed 25% of students in my small mountain middle/high school. Imagine the president allowing some rich waspy lady literally taking food out of children's mouths... as like their first loving move.

The bill repeals a specified rule that established certain nutrition standards for the national school lunch and breakfast programs. (In general, the rule requires schools to increase the availability of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat or fat free milk in school meals; reduce the levels of sodium, saturated fat, and trans fat in school meals; and meet children's nutritional needs within their caloric requirements.)

I'm trying to lol here

no matter what the program in question happens to be, when you see republicans talk about switching it to vouchers it basically means giving people coupons that they can use to directly purchase from some private for-profit company whatever service the govt used to provide; the company will provide them less and/or lower quality service for the equivalent per-person dollar amount that the government was spending since a big hunk of the voucher money now goes towards some private company's own bureaucratic overhead, which is more expensive per-employee than the govt's. And, of course, since the company is trying to make a profit, they'll cut every corner they possibly can to keep costs down.

Oh, and sometimes the vouchers are for less than whatever per-person amount was being spent on the social program that's getting slashed, so it's a double gently caress you to poors. Triple gently caress you if they also make it so way that fewer people qualify for the new vouchers than were on the slashed social program.

so basically the short answer to your question is "yes, gently caress you got mine"

I don't understand why schools cant teach children how to use third grade math to count calories.

The food pyramid, myplate... it's like we just assume kids don't learn simple math despite taking it every single year
