Studies have shown that participation in school food programs increases students’ attendance and academic performance. It improves students’ mental and physical health, and has even been shown to increase lifetime earnings compared to those who don’t participate in such a program.

“This is probably one of the most important things that we can do for a whole generation,” says Debbie Field, national co-ordinator for the Coalition for Healthy School Food, a non-profit organization. “We know that those countries who have invested in universal school food programs show outcomes at the educational and health level that are fabulous.”

Unsurprised to see AB being the last to join, even though they have the lowest rate of students participating in a school food program. These are federal funds too! Just take the money and feed the kids ffs.
