The federal government’s plan to feed 400,000 schoolchildren a day with a school food program was based on the cost of meals being under $3 per child.

Promises made by the government will only be met if each meal costs $2.78, which is below the minimum cost identified by the Breakfast Club of Canada, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
