The packaging for the turkey and cheddar Lunchable option is described as a 3.5 ounce container. The document said it contains 2-ounce equivalents MMA (meat/meat alternative), one ounce equivalent of grain and “meets whole grain rich criteria” of the NSLP.

The extra cheesy pizza option comes in a 5.05 ounce container and contains 2 ounces equivalent of MMA, 2 ounce equivalents of grain, 1/8 cup of red/orange vegetable and “meets whole grain rich criteria” of the NSLP.

love how schools have these big commercial kitchens and ostensibly there are folks out there who are decent enough cooks to work them yet we do these bullshit deals to feed kids lunchables instead of making big pots of chili or stew or grilled cheeses or something for what I imagine is way, way cheaper

I don't think the homemade lunches whipped up by workers in the industrial kitchen has been a thing in schools for the last couple decades; it's all nuke-n-serve poo poo now that is on par with lunchables, only warm, so why not take that final step.

A lunchable is basically what an alcoholic parent would throw in a bag while extremely hungover. Reading between the lines it seems like maybe they had to reduce the salt and saturated fat? Hard to believe a lunch of crackers and shelf stable meat alternatives isn't considered healthy by the woke usda these days

The idea to roll out Lunchables in schools and potentially have schools provide them directly to students comes amidst new proposed changes to school food guidelines by the US Department of Agriculture, which oversees the federally assisted school meal program.

The proposed changes aim to reduce added sugars and sodium levels in school-provided lunches. The standards would reduce sodium limits gradually over several school years.

***

The Lunchable Turkey & Cheddar Cheese with Crackers (3.2 ounce) tray sold in Target, for example, contains 740 mg of sodium in the one packet serving size. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, adults should limit sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg per day—that’s equal to about 1 teaspoon of table salt. For children under age 14, the recommended limits are even lower.

The federal government paused screening for Medicaid qualification in March 2020 as part of a package of emergency pandemic measures. But those rules expire this year after several extensions, meaning states can resume evaluating whether residents are eligible for coverage as of April 1. The Kaiser Family Foundation has predicted that anywhere from 5.3 million to 14.2 million Americans could lose insurance in the process, though some could transfer to Affordable Care Act programs or employer-sponsored plans, if available.

(also lol that 20 percent of NY state's budget goes toward medicaid)

this goes way back but wasn't one of the big things about ppaca and the court case that the expanded medicaid could really impact state finances and that's why a bunch of them sued to get rid of the mandate? There was some sort of grant money to fund medicaid but no guarantee it would exist in the future.

Yeah, the feds subsidized more of it at the beginning of the expansion, as they subsidized more of it during the pandemic.

iirc the court case against forcing states to accept expansion was bc the feds threatened to withhold all federal medicaid funding unless a state accepted expansion which even the lib scotus justices decided no-can-do.

I was still surprised that medicaid funding takes 1 out of every 5 dollars of NY state's budget (even with federal subsidies) and is expected to increase to one out of every 4 dollars within a few years.

It's just another data point as to how a federalized public healthcare program for all would be a boon to the states, as well as to citizens.

I got an email from my bank today reassuring me that my account is FDIC insured and please don't take out the money Lol.

A few years ago when I was client-hunting I signed up for all these financial apps for cheap resume cred then promptly forgot about them.

This was one of them; they've emailed me twice today:

quote:

To our valued customers,

By now you’ve likely heard the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) announced on Friday that Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) is in receivership. Of course this impacts those who were banking with SVB, but as this news is unsettling for the entire entrepreneurial community we wanted to provide reassurance.

Following the news, we immediately reached out to Wave customers who were banking with SVB to offer support and let them know that their online payments and payroll needs would not be affected in any way.

Rest assured Wave does not have exposure to SVB and was not impacted by Friday’s events. Our bank partners are stable and in a strong position to continue to support the industry and Wave, allowing us to continue to serve you as we always have:

Online payments and payroll processing are continuing seamlessly without interruption or delay

We continue to further support your cash flow with the option of instant payouts

Our Wave Money banking customers can continue accessing funds

Meanwhile, here are some suggestions to help you and your employees feel more confident:

Any of your customers who bank with SVB will still be able to pay you through Wave.

Enabling online payments on your Wave invoices gives your customers an easy option that can speed up the payment process and help you get paid faster, improving your cash flow. Additionally, customers who choose to pay by credit card can hold onto their cash for an extra month before their bill comes due, which is beneficial for their cash flow as well.

You can set up automated reminders to help remind them of payments owing.

If you use Wave’s payroll feature, reassure your employees there is no risk to their paychecks.

If you’re looking for a reliable payroll option, we can automate your payroll so you can focus on your business.

We are always monitoring the markets, taking steps to mitigate any risk so we can continue to deliver to you, our valued customer. Should you have any questions, please contact the Wave Support team by logging into your Wave Account and clicking on the Live Chat button at the bottom right of your screen.

As always, we are here to support you and the small business community. We thank you for your business and your trust.

Sincerely,

Zahir Khoja
CEO

fortunately other journos & other outlets have also exposed the censorship cabals, an inconvenient truth that does form an accurate picture and yet for some reason keeps getting ignored. :iiam:

I don’t think liberation can be born from a software platform, so ultimately my take on these programs and ideas is “bad, but also a game being played by people who think Russia posting Beefy Bernie memes was truly harmful” and so in that sense I don’t see it as much of a threat. the most powerful people in the system must be as stupid as the system demands them to be, and if they’re focusing on the wrong things, ie their twitter mentions, then let them keep staring at that.

their twitter mentions being better or worse has no material effect on me, or anyone I know, who isn’t just on Twitter for fun, the only use case for it that makes any sense.

I just think it's funny as hell that all these censorship cabals & working groups with people like jamie dimon have been exposed, thus diluting their effectiveness & secrecy even if it's by a negligible amount.

hence the public good: it amuses me.

I dunno I’m comfortable with starting a back run on Twitter being something government should be allowed to stop.

what limits do you believe should exist, if any, on a government telling a private corp to censor information that "undermines" the government or our country's institutions?

also, do you believe that these edicts should be made in secret, or that the public should know about them being in effect?

It’s pretty mind-boggling, but recent data show that the older population has more regular soda drinkers than younger people.

People in their 30s and 40s typically drink more regular soda than people in other age groups. Those aged 50 to 64 come second, but they don’t fall far behind, with 57% of the individuals in the age bracket being regular soda drinkers.

Lastly, 49% of adults in the 18–29 age bracket regularly consume soda.
