Good point!!Or giving the kid's time to actually eat their lunch! I know when my kids buy they spend 1/2 their lunch time in line waiting to order so by the time they get to the table they have 10-15 minutes to eat. I know its possible to eat in that time, but it would be nice if they could take their time, socialize and not end up having to throw half their food out because they were rushed out.
Just curious, why does a school have to offer a "hot" meal for free/reduced lunch? If a cold sandwich lunch meets all the nutritional requirements, why isn't that good enough?

I'm going to be honest- I don't know the legal answer to your question. I'm not sure if schools ARE required to provided a hot meal for their students. The way our school talks about it is that "some kids may not receive a hot meal at home and school is the only place they do get a hot meal".
I'm not sure if that's just our county talking or if it has something to do with a law. Guess I should look it up!
