School Cafeteria's lunch program

It has come to my attention that our children are not receiving the same quality of lunch as we did when we were growing up. First of all, many of us public school students some years back did not have to pay for lunch at all. We all received a pretty healthy lunch and a snack. Many of the school cafeteria's have begun to remove healthy items off of the lunch menu. They have gotten rid of fruit, they have brought in watered down milk and in exchange have added junk food in their place.

Parents need to fight for our children's right to have a decent meal at school, because without it the children cannot function at all. How can the schools expect them to be able to learn on an empty stomach, or a stomach filled with sugary candy and junk? There are many parents that are now required today to pay a fee for their children to have a meal at their school. If they do not pay up the school cafeterias often threaten not to feed the children at all or starve them. The way they consider it not starving our children is their current statement such as, " If you do not pay your child's lunch bill we will be forced to feed him/her a cheese sandwich and milk". Some have become bold enough to state that they will not feed the child period. I believe that this is a complete outrage. We have the North Carolina State education lottery. Why are our children suffering even more? I have written these words so parents can be on the alert. We have to fight for our children's right to have a decent meal in school. Please leave me a comment about any suggestions.
