There’s virtually no debate that kids need nutritious food to stay healthy and learn at school. Numerous and broad studies have shown that school meal programs reduceobesity, poor health, and food insecurity.

So one might wonder why politicians would want to literally take healthy food out of the mouths of hungry school children. Great question.

The answer, in a nutshell, is greed. The dairy lobby is more interested in profit than in the well being of children… the President is more interested in undercutting the work of his predecessor than in providing healthy food to children, and the President and his party are more interested in tax cuts for the extremely wealthy than they are in maintaining  a safety net that ensures 3,000,000 children get at least one decent meal a day.

There may be “no debate that kids need nutritious food to stay healthy and learn at school” and there should also be no debate that the POTUS’ actions that take nutritious foods away is wrongheaded.
