LUNCH SHAMING is the term that defines a

scenario where the cafeteria worker is ordered by

the school to throw a child's lunch into the trash or

offer a cheese sandwich in front of the child's peers.

In January 2019, the United States faced a

government shutdown that lasted for 35 days.

Within those 35 days, the National School Lunch
Program and School Breakfast Program (N.S.L.P.

and S.B.P.), of the agricultural division that operates
and serves about 30 million students, faced a big

financial hit and ran the risk of running out of
money. I thought to myself, even if students that

receive free lunch could face shame, they deserve

better.

I truly believe the words of Nelson Mandela

when he said: "There can be no keener revelation of

a society's soul than the way in which it treats its

children."

Recently, some states passed a bill to stop this

nonsense. But now, the schools are accumulating a

massive amount of debt from unpaid lunch dues.
