Governor Lamont recently signed legislation to extend Connecticut’s free school lunch program through the academic year, with a $60 million price tag. Today, we talk about what free lunches mean for students. How will they benefit, what are the costs?

Marlene Schwarts of UConn joins us. She says students should never have to worry about being hungry at school.

The USDA recently announced new standards for nutrition in schools, including eliminating trans fats, and lowering sugar and sodium content in school lunches.

Healthier lunches means increased costs in a time where we are already seeing food shortages and increased costs in labor.
