@gbhnews Is this a universal free school meals program or income based? In Vermont we just enacted universal free school meals, it would be great if we had both MA and VT recognizing the important role that universal nutrition has.

@gbhnews Yay! Are VT and MA the only two states who are doing this or are others leading the way? It’s such a no-brainer to me I’d love it if we could see it become nationwide (and follow the French and Italian approach of locally sourced and cooked fresh food which goes along with nutritional education).
