    Banning is all swell and dandy but a big issue that most schools have is having to make lunch for so many kids with so little money.
    And on top of that there’s the outrageous charges they place on families and the draconian debt collection measures they sometimes rely on.

    Banning is easy, solving is not. Sorry.

      California schools are mandated to offer breakfast and lunch to every child for free, so not a concern on that front.
