“Studies show children, teens learn better when their nutritional needs are met- help those who need assistance, better for them and eventually society. I taught at a school with 40% kids below poverty level — They were so happy leaving the cafeteria each morning, and they showed appreciation to cafeteria staff for caring.”

“The challenge is there is significant waste in free school lunches. 40% or 530,000 tons per year ... Kids that need it should get it. But we have to do better.”

“Typical politics when it come to school funding. Elect officials who care about the well being of the people and children they serve. All politicians should be asked where they stand on education funding. Put these self-involved politicians on record and hold them accountable! Produce more funding, or look for another easy job.”

— John Acosta via story comment

“#morelawsforpaws There needs to be harsher laws, and there needs to be a database for abusers, backyard breeders and abandonment.”
