    No child should live hungry.

    Any follow-up news on the Feeding Our Future fraud case where a community in Minneapolis took hundreds of millions of dollars to live lavish lifestyles including purchasing land in foreign countries while MN children went hungry?

      Of course they won’t. This story is as close to criticism as the DFL gets in Minnesota.

      It’s actually quite expensive. I worked school food service for 17 years, left in 2019. I think the biggest expense was fresh fruit.
      We were feeding about 100 elementary kids for breakfast and around 40 middle school high schoolers for breakfast each day and for lunch it was around 300 elementary and 160 middle/ high school. Our weekly fsa order was between $700-$1000 then we had milk, bread, and fruit, so around $1,800 a week and we also got commodities from the usda to add to the food. Commodities were canned foods, frozen foods and dry goods supplied to us from the usda

      So far this will cost the taxpayers $560 million every 2 years and goes up from there! MINNEAPOLIS IS NOW GETTING ILLEGAL ALIENS INVADERS BEING BUSED FROM NEW YORK CITY!

    Why not try to get help from the free food shelters? There is plenty of food that goes to waste

    it all sounds very fishy on the part of the owner. Should be a class action lawsuit against them.

    No children should ever be hungry. I grow up in CA in the 90's as a kid. I remember i eat free and my parent never had to pay a dime for my meal because the state of CA has a large budget so they can afford it

    It's not really free if taxpayers are paying for the breakfast/lunches.

    The justification of this just stupid. Just think about it even if people can afford it or not they simply are going to take advantage of something perceived to be free. Even rich people will take advantage of free stuff how do you think they got rich.

      I wish they’d stop calling it “free” lunches. Our tax dollars are paying for this and Waltz is being treated as a hero for spending our money. What a joke!

    Remember kids, it is the democrats feeding you, not republicans. So just waste it away, get those grades up, and take a nap until the next news case. Your grades will base on equity, not performance. Good luck to you.

    STOP putting a price on the LIFE OF A CHILD.
    EVERY CHILD should have lunch....and NOT receive shame because it's unaffordable to them.
    VALUE OF LIFE NEEDS TO RETURN FULL FOLD. 🙏💖
