It seems like it's a lot better.
There's a lot more choices, a lot more the taste is better.

And I want to make sure that people know that these programs for school lunches, they really help our country.
The cost of it is $17.7 billion nationwide of federal funding.
Now, that may seem like a lot.
That is
Not much.
And when you look at like, like the military budget folks is, is like 950 billion.
Okay.
That is like a sliver of the military budget, our budget for immigration enforcement right now, uh,
which has just skyrocketed, whether you like it or not, we're pumping a ton of money into this, is something above $300, $350 billion.
So when you're talking $17 billion, that's a big bang for your buck.
in my belief, for helping our kids and helping our kids go into the future.
I also think it's a moral obligation, right?
When people say, well, America can't afford to do this.
Yeah, it can.
We can afford to feed our kids at school.
