My comments are a little off topic--- I don't blame the milk producers for trying to increase consumption of their product.
I want to say---the FREE BREAKFAST to all students encourages waste and the idea that the district can receive additional federal funding by giving away breakfast is not consistent with the goals of the feeding program.
It sems the district is teaching consumption when so many need to learn moderation.
I recall the LNS interviews with Mr Sun and with Mr Neeley regarding the opportunity to upgrade the food service program---that with extra federal funding the district could consider hiring an executive chef to enhance the program. I don't believe this will happen any time soon but it seems the feeding program is sucking up a lot of resources that could and I think should be used elsewhere.

The challenge should be for parents to feed their own kids.

This is just industry selling milk to our children and disguising it as education.

Nutritious? Are you Bleepity bleep kidding me! Look at their menu for kids that they are calling "nutritious" it is a joke. Might as well be wolfing down breakfast every morning at McDonald's! Nothing but sugar and fat.

I recall reading a Sentinel article about LUSD free breakfast for all--that every student in LUSD----regardless of need, is provided "free" breakfast?
The director of the food service department said this was done in hopes of getting more of those students who do not qualify for free lunch to purchase lunch because the district would would then qualify for even more federal funding.
I think it's great that those in need are provided free breakfast and even lunch but it seems to me this feeding program is excessive and extremely wasteful.
Eating is like weight lifting---- the more you do, the more you can do.
No?
