Canada is the only country in the G7 that doesn't have a national school food program. Researchers say that as high inflation affects food prices, more children need access to these programs β€” but community groups say they need stable funding from the federal government to keep everyone fed.

Lunch was never amazing in my Brazilian schools, I still remember the "alien meat", "color juice", the burnt rice and beans, leftover soups etc; but they were there when I and many others really needed them so cheers to the program and keep on with it by all means.

I remember having really great meals when I was in a brazilian public kindergarten/elementary school. Many of the recipes weren't my favourite at the time, but it was a meal. When I returned many years later to a public high school it was really sad to see how it downgraded from actual meals to crackers with "color juice" like you said.
