Summary
The Feed Our Kids Act would amend the Child Nutrition Act and the National School Lunch Act so that all public‑school students receive free breakfast and lunch, ending any charges or debt collection. It sets a national payment rate for schools, adjusts it for inflation, and bans practices that shame children over unpaid meals. The goal is to improve nutrition and equity for children nationwide.
