Whether kids love or hate the food served there, the American school lunchroom is the stage for one of the most popular yet flawed social welfare programs in our nation's history. "School Lunch Politics" covers this complex and fascinating part of American culture, from its origins in early twentieth-century nutrition science, through the establishment of the National School Lunch Program in 1946, to the transformation of school meals into a poverty program during the 1970s and 1980s. Susan Levine investigates the politics and culture of food; most specifically, who decides what American children should be eating, what policies develop from those decisions, and how these policies might be better implemented. Even now, the school lunch program remains problematic, a juggling act between modern beliefs about food, nutrition science, and public welfare.Levine points to the program menus' dependence on agricultural surplus commodities more than on children's nutritional needs, and she discusses the political policy barriers that have limited the number of children receiving meals and which children were served. But she also shows why the school lunch program has outlasted almost every other twentieth-century federal welfare initiative. In the midst of privatization, federal budget cuts, and suspect nutritional guidelines where even ketchup might be categorized as a vegetable, the program remains popular and feeds children who would otherwise go hungry. As politicians and the media talk about a national obesity epidemic, "School Lunch Politics" is a timely arrival to the food policy debates shaping American health, welfare, and equality.

重點是從Welfare Program到Poverty Program的變遷:能量與營養要素投放比過去增加瞭許多,安全係數提高,保障性更強;但午餐形式(不夠好吃/好看……)卻開始與社會脫節(不客氣地說,還不如被超商成箱倒掉的“垃圾”)。從造福兒童的福利項目到人嫌狗憎的燙手山芋,美帝校園午餐政治早已不是健康安全議題所能涵蓋的

評分國圖。Surprising History名副其實。作為公共政策的校園午餐,既有全體社會福利與重點扶貧項目之間的矛盾,又有聯邦國會和地方州政府之間的扯皮博弈。中央既想保證一項福利政策作為政績,又不想掏錢“乾涉”地方內部事務。交給地方操作的結果就是,讓有錢的孩子供養沒錢的孩子吃午餐。聯邦政府又進一步鋪攤子,地方就加收有錢人的錢,最後等大傢都沒人肯交錢瞭,就隻能交給快餐供應商們瞭。關鍵還有一個文化因素:美國的經濟發達錶現在食品上就是大傢都有有營養的飯吃,但同時吃校園午餐的人又不得不帶上貧窮的標簽。一頓午餐能涉及這麼多議題,牛啊。
