This was a nutritional supplement, I'll call it, program during COVID where the states were administering money out of the Department of Agriculture through their Department of Education to schools to try and feed children during COVID.

Program was estimated to be a little more than $2 million a year.

By 2024, in four years, they'd sucked $100 million out of it, and guess what?
