School Nutrition “If you asked the average person to do what you have to do every day, and that is to prepare a meal for hundreds of hungry kids with just $2. 68 a child – with only $1. 00 to $1. 25 of that money going to the food itself – they would look at you like you were crazy. That's sad, but that's less than what many folks spend on a cup of coffee in the morning. So we're going to have to do everything we can to help you. " School Nutrition Association (2010).
