NDP calls on government to fund school lunch program in upcoming budget 

The NDP is calling on the federal government to announce a national school lunch program in the upcoming federal budget, to be released on April 16.

The party says a national program would help children learn by providing them with healthy meals every day, while offering some relief to parents who are struggling with high food prices.

“Parents are doing everything they can to take care of their kids, but the cost of food just keeps going up,” NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said in a media statement released Wednesday.

This is how lunch went down back in the olden days:

1st week of the month, Ham, Tuna or Salmon sandwiches.

2nd week – Mystery meat or one of the 1st week selections.

3rd week – PBJ’s

4th week – Cheeze Whiz sandwiches.
