EN,  It looks like the numbers not only don't add up but is tax payer fraud.  RC713's point was not about the children being responsible to pay for their breakfast but about adults planning, instituting, and running a socially and fiscally responsible program as a responsible example to them.  See mine and Springor's comments below.  I think a form of this program is a good thing, a very good thing but it should be targeted for those who need it, not a method for a school district to obtain additional non-program money.

For me and I speak for me alone, responses like yours endanger the very program you are trying to protect.
