  • it's easy to say "let's feed the kids!", and it's not a bad opinion to have - but I was curious when I looked at the bill mentioned in the article - added all up, its between $8 and $12 per child per day.

    cursory searches indicate that there's ~55.4 million children, K - 12, attending school in 2023. if that estimate is accurate, that's $443,200,000 to $664,800,000 per day.

    the number of days in a school year varies by State - between 160 and 180 - this means that for a "school year" the cost of feeding the children is between $70,912,000,000 - $79,776,000,000 (160 days) to $106,368,000,000 - $119,664,000,000 (180 days)

    so, between $70.9 billion and $119.6 billion, every year. not really surprised that the bill is getting no traction in Congress.
