And how did you start out working in the business of school lunches and helping our kids?
And just listening to your background there, you are like the nation's expert on this stuff.
You know, I mean, I listen to all of that.
It's pretty amazing.
Can you tell everyone, how do these school lunch programs work?
Is it different for every region, different for every school?
Are there standards?
Like, how does it work in Jefferson County?
I want to touch on something you talked about there.
The standards being different, but also this desire for, and I think it's a good one, to make sure that kids get healthy meals.
We just have this, I typically don't like the new Secretary of Health and Human Services, RFK Jr.
I don't think very much of him.
However,
There is a push, at least in the headlines, for kids to have healthier meals.
I don't know how much the federal government is doing to that end.
One of the things that I worry about is that we have these nutritional standards for healthier foods come down from above, but the cost of healthier foods is higher than the cost of
not so nutritional food.
And at the same time, Washington is cutting more money for these programs.
So to me that it's hard for me to square that, but can you talk about that, that issue?
Yes.
