I see what you're saying, u/Jacksfilms! Look at all the numbers you can stick on the end!

related to this, I've seen some school districts open up sharing tables, where students who are forced to pick up such items can instead leave them on a communal table. other students can pick them up and whatever is left is given to a charitable cause. how is this related to u/purplefrog8's situation?

also, I do a lot of work in the food waste and food insecurity field and would love to talk about this more.

from a logistics standpoint, I would imagine it would be easier and cheaper to give kids the same 10 or so meals on a rotating menu. think about all the additional training school lunch staff would need to prepare kimchi or goulash as well as the savings that buying ingredients in bulk would bring.

I'm curious about your last statement. if I'm not mistaken, NYC passed universal free lunch a few years ago. how does this fit within current regulations?

from a federal perspective, are there any barriers to establishing something like this? any supports?
