Скачать или смотреть School Lunches: America's Secret Military Strategy

What if I told you that your school lunch was actually part of a military strategy? It's true! In 1946, America launched the National School Lunch Program, but its roots go back to World War 2. During the war, many young men were rejected from military service due to malnutrition. This alarmed government officials, who realized that a well-fed population was crucial for national defense. The solution? Free school meals. By providing nutritious lunches to children, the government aimed to create a healthier future draft pool. It was a long-term investment in America's military readiness. The program quickly expanded, feeding millions of students daily. Today, it continues to shape the health of America's youth, though its military origins are often forgotten. So next time you see a school cafeteria, remember: it's not just about education, it's about national security too.
