text: They give them a cheese sandwich.  The "We will feed every kid, every day" is what they've been doing, whether there was money to do it or not.  Maybe you need to talk to parents who haven't applied for the federal school lunch program and thus presumably have money to feed their kids, but choose to let the school give them a free cheese sandwich.  Maybe THEY need to cut spending.
  
  The school isn't "cutting spending" - cafeterias are not funded by education dollars.  They are like a restaurant - the money that comes in from the federal government for the lunch program for the poor, and from parents from the not-so-poor, funds the materials and labor to produce lunches.  Far from cutting spending, they are borrowing from somewhere to cover the cost that parents refuse to pay.
