We have a system that is run by competent people like yourself, not perfect, that as you mentioned, maybe should be expanded to everyone.

Yes.

But I worry these cuts make it more challenging for school districts to help kids go to school and have healthy meals right now.

What are some of the challenges that you ran into during your tenure all the way up to this point?

And what are some of the biggest challenges you think going forward?

What did you tackle in the 20 years and 30 years that you worked on this?

And then what do we still need to do?

Yeah, it is.

And we don't really know what's going to happen.

I mean, we see these massive cuts in federal funding to these programs.

And, you know, what's going to happen is that the cost is going to shift onto the states and into local communities.

And, you know, many – some local communities, I would imagine, would be able to –

you know, make up the difference, but many will not.

And that's where you're going to see our fellow Kentuckians, their kids, our fellow Americans and kids fall behind in those areas, I think.

We'll get Doug or Bill, our producers here during the show here, to get that number of how much money is spent on school programs nationwide.

I'm guessing it may even be less than the White House new East Wing there that he tore down.

But we'll get that and add that in there.

What are some misconceptions about these programs that you might want to respond to?

One I thought was when I was reading through the material that you have written before is that the school lunches of today are not the same as what you and I had back 20, 30, 40 years ago.

I mean, that would be one misconception.
