At various FCC dinners we have discussed the policies surrounding the lunches served in our nations school cafeteria's. Something needs to change, the nations most vulnerable (children) are the ones suffering because of low grade meat supplied to school lunch programs. The USDA has a dual role in administering the financing for school lunches, on one hand they need to provide safe and nourishing lunches while on the other hand they have to provide a venue for corporate beef manufacturers to sell low grade beef. This relationship is toxic.
See this article in USA today for more on the topic of meat in schools:

In hopes for change.
