Nom Nom Nom: President Obama’s Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act Provides Free Meals for All Detroit Schools Who cares about the kids? Obama should be slapping Boehner and Cantor upside their heads. All Detroit Public Schools students will receive free breakfast, lunch and snacks in an effort to remove the stigma of being from a low-income family. The U.S. Department of Agriculture program chose Michigan as one of three states to participate in the pilot program. Charter schools and districts in Michigan can participate if at least 40% of students are eligible for public assistance. What I like is that parts of Detroit look like Iowa or Kansas........lots of corn blowing in the wind. They've opened up a lot of vacant acreage and turned them into gardens so Detroit residents can grow their own crops. For the first time, many a poor Detroit family has fresh veggies in the summer. It costs more to eat healthy and these gardens help to defer that cost. Speaking of which, my tomatoes are getting close to ripening.........despite our cooler than normal summer. ;-)
