My whole point is this: I know how important school lunches are in many districts. Instead of a one-size-fits-all legislation in which a high percentage of the actual expenditures will stay in Washington, local school districts and states (to some extent) can target specific schools and school districts in better meeting a more direct need to our kids. More control (and taxation revenues) should be given locally. Some of it will be mismanaged, some wasted but some will be more beneficial than the federal bureaucracy in which most of it will be wasted (i.e., little or no cost/benefit); not out of stupidity, but out of the nature of how they have to work (and the myriad of conflicting, confusing and restrictive federal laws).
