Obama Administration's New School Lunch Tab to Cost States Billions
The old adage that there's no such thing as a free lunch (although the other guy might pick up the tab once in a blue moon) will haunt states under the Obama administration's new school meal standards.
Unfortunately for the states, they are the other guy who could be forced to swallow the $3.2 billion bill over five years to accommodate the new standards, which replace breaded patties and canned fruit with fresh tomatoes and chef salad. It's a small consolation to them that the tally is less than half of the original proposal's tab.
