Nice.
Step 2: Make the meals actually healthy instead of garbage food prepared by the lowest-bid contractor.
Step 1: calories for all.
Step 2: good calories.
All Conservatives: “OMG NOOOOOOOOO!!!”
Its more like:
All Conservatives: “How can we give away this trash food for free!? Think of the children!? We have to put a high price on it so it’s harder for children to get!!!”

When I see comments like this I always have to wonder… so, you don’t oppose the government using it’s resources to support the well-being of it’s citizens. So then what is making you conservative? Your desire to oppose other fundamental rights and liberties of others? Wanting corporations to continue to steal from the wealth of the many for the sake of unimaginable wealth for the few? A fear of others who freely exist with other values then your own and the inability to cope with their success? Or thrive in their perils as a way to compensate for the inadequacies you feel in your own life? The desire to maintain the status quo of women and minorities being subservient to old white men? To control other people’s bodies or worrying an unhealthy amount about their genitals and what they do with them?

So… what exactly is conservatism to you then? Because what they listed is things most current American conservatives would agree with.
Way to deflect.

Yeah, but that means what they’re doing isn’t a dealbreaker for you. So you may not agree with them cutting funds from education, cutting taxes on the wealthy and corporations, voting no on providing free school lunch, or taking away abortion rights, but it doesn’t bother you enough to change your vote.
So why would they change what they’re doing? It’s clearly working for them in a lot of places.
Edited to add: Democrats don’t have the votes to pass abortion rights at the federal level.

If you support this you are not actually a conservative. Republicans fight against these programs with all their strength.
You should try voting Democratic next election. More of these policies will be implemented.
Stop gatekeeping conservatism. Allow the party to change for the better.
Keep in mind that party policies don’t always reflect the voters opinions, as the party primary follows donor opinions, not voter opinions.

“No true scotsman”
Right wingers are about to lose their absolute minds because it conflicts with their… Christian morals.
Personal story, might be slightly negative:
spoiler
I remember in elementry school after moving to a different school district, I realized lunch there was not part of the National School Lunch Progam so I just didn’t eat anything because I felt like school lunch was a scam (I mean we all know how terrible they taste, at least in the US) and packing lunch just takes too much time and I was worried about being targeted by racists like “OMG, [insert name here] is bringing food all the way from China. Hahaha.” I mean like wtf is wrong with people.
I’m glad they did this, but I hope this can become nationwide.
I can’t hear it. It’s not loud enough.
Don’t our taxes pay for it? Don’t other civilized countries already do this? So how is it framed as “free?” We should already have these policies implemented. Republicans made this country into a joke.

Nice
Christ that headline is so depressing.
This can and should be a federal thing. You’d think indebting kids for basic nourishment would be worth threatening to block appropriations for war or something, but it’s not.
