Public schools across New York state are hoping to save the free breakfast and lunch programs for their students. During the pandemic, there was funding available to make sure that students were fed both breakfast and lunch each day for free. Now the program is in jeopardy.
We all want our children to eat healthier especially when they are in school. Now there are more funds to help not only our kids but our local farmers get a boost too.
We all had our favorite school lunch! I loved taco day, personally! Many people loved pizza day, or even the chicken patty!
But, what if we had to eat that food now? How would that go?
My kids want to take their lunch everyday, and I'm okay with that...

Public School 244 in Flushing, Queens became the first elementary school in the U.S. to offer students a completely vegetarian menu! Pretty crazy, right? But, it's been about six months, and the results are remarkable!
