The supposed news hook was that food prices are going up, which they are, and that is making it harder to provide nutritious school lunches. With a fixed amount of money available it’s certainly making it harder to providedoes: makes things more expensive. But whether the recent price increases have been higher for nutritious foods than for the empty calories kids love is an interesting empirical question regarding which the CBC infotorial provided zero information.
The report introduced the “p” word early: “patchwork.” Funding for school lunches is provided by a “patchwork” of sources, “including provincial and municipal governments and private donations.” Patchwork may be high praise at a quilting bee but in funding it’s always and everywhere a pejorative. In CBC-land, funding for things that are highly valued must needs come from only one source: the federal government, and in high, steady volumes.
