Since nutrition standards were strengthened in 2010, eating at school provides many students with healthier food than is available cheaply elsewhere. Plus, reducing stigma increases the number of kids getting fed.

      The ketchup as a vegetable controversy stemmed from proposed regulations of school lunches by the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS)

      in 1981

      Mate, your hot take is older than my dad.

      On September 25, 1981, President Reagan withdrew the original regulations proposed by the Food and Nutrition Service due in part to the sharp criticism from the opposition

      Wow, this hot take has gone cold. Send it back.

        Looks at list of terrible shit Reagan did… moves down a few thousand lines, gets to Section II: Good shit

        1. Withdrew ketchup as vegetable

        Kinda similar to my Nixon list with free dialysis

            Oh not implying that. Just making a stupid comment for the yuks. I seriously learned something. All bad Presidents do at least one thing good. Except Jackson.

        Reagan said insane stuff like this all the time. He thought that America could survive a nuclear war, and that we could put the Starship Enterprise in orbit over the homeland to shoot down Soviet missiles. Basically he was Trump with better hair and smarter handlers.

        Never vote GOP. Never

          I like that he wanted to make in the Navy the official song of the Navy until somebody took him aside and pointed out a few things to him.
