That is not true. You took the whole tray, at least in NY and FL. They did make multiple meals. Friday was pizza day, period.. You got the fruit cup with the wax cherries whether you liked iit or not. You could choose chocolate milk, for a dime more. i remember that. But you got milk. You paid or you brought.
Funny, lack of choices and discipline was a conservative thing at one time. Never saw all these choices bring a Red thing...
Yes it is true.
Especially for TX schools. I was able to choose what I wanted on my tray as a student. Then I worked in schools and know what the rules were and what they allowed in terms of the students being able to deny certain items.
That is why it led to more waste- like the study showed. You know the study you refuse to respond to.
Also, it may have been true for those 2 states when you went to school but may not have been true by the 90s and early 2000s just before this law was passed.... which is why it led to increased waste....... like the study shows.
But you want to ignore so many points and argue about something you have no clue about, make false claims, ignore studies or the experiences of those who worked in schools and saw it first hand.
How school was when you (or I) went in the 80s, 90s or even early 2000s is different than what school is now or has been since around 2010 when everything started moving to digital/computer based, dealing with social media, smart phones, etc.
You have desperately made this into a Trump vs Obama thing, when there are multiple threads on here where I criticize Trump. But I am also one of the more rare posters (on this board) that also gives him praise when he deserves it (which is much more rare these days).
If we could go back to the old site I would feel safe saying there was a thread where this program was discussed and I would have been against it then because of the forced aspect of it. Not which president it passed under.
