A bill passed by the House on Thursday will allow more children to receive free school lunches and will boost the nutritional quality of meals served at school. The bill was supported by President Obama but opposed by education groups who fear that schools will not have enough money to pay for the new requirements. An article by Ron Haskins that appeared in the Summer 2005 issue of Ed Next looked at the history of the federal school lunch program.
