So the school lunch program was just “can the existing (working) contracts managed by the government, write a contract with a single company to do what the government was doing, pat ourselves on the back”? All while expecting the new middleman to do the same job, for less, and still be profitable.
Not sure what I was expecting tbh. Just more smooth brain small government thinking.
Why didn’t they just get the prisons service provider to do it? Prisoners get a full monthly menu made by a nutritionist taking into account all dietary requirements. Like prisoners, School kids don’t go anywhere, and there’s (probably?) a prison an hour or two drive from most schools so (probably) not a massive logistical nightmare.
Are we feeding our prisoners better than our kids?
