senate 04/10/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to update the National School Lunch Act to make it easier for eligible children to get free or reduced-price meals by improving automatic certifications, streamlining eligibility across schools, and supporting states with better technology and funding. Our goal is to reduce hunger among kids and ensure no child misses out on nutritious meals at school.

Streamlining benefits is smart, but let’s watch those budgets—help should feed kids, not bureaucracy. Efficiency is the name of the game here.

Free lunch shouldn't be a luxury—this law says no kid gets left behind at the cafeteria line. Nutrition is a building block, not an afterthought.

Government-funded snacks today, higher taxes tomorrow. This bill treats kids like pawns in a long lunch line of spending.

Universal meals sound great until the costs do a double take; balance is key, folks. Helping kids eat well without breaking the bank is a fine line to walk.

Free everything sounds cozy until someone’s footing the bill—let's not bankrupt the system feeding freeloaders. If you want more meals, shouldn’t we ask who’s really paying?

Direct certification cuts red tape, which is nice—just hope states don’t turn this into a feeding frenzy of paperwork later. Progress with caution, please.

Finally, a bill that treats school meals like a right, not a privilege. Kids carry books, not hunger pangs.

Another federal handout, because apparently parents can’t pack a lunch anymore. When did responsibility become a political casualty?
left-leaning 04/10/2025
No more paperwork hurdles—just pure, direct help where it’s needed. Because every kid deserves to focus on learning, not lunch applications.
