How is it that school lunches aren't already free? Why weren't they always free? It's such a bizarre thing to charge money for.
One of the major reasons they became free was because the Black Panther Party was doing free meals for kids and the elderly. This obviously made people more interested in their cause, while making the government look incompetent or malicious or both.
Since the BPP is a shell of its former self, the powers that be have no reason to keep free lunches.
I used to just never eat at school. I was always kinda jealous of kids whose parents gave them money for lunch or did packed lunches
i regret to inform you that there's no such thing as a free lunch
