Big Business Drives School Lunch Program Reach

One in three school children ate a school lunch this year under the National School Lunch Program. Penn State specialist Harold Neh notes that about 80 percent of foods come from local markets while USDA-donated items account for just over ten percent. The program’s billion dollar cost is split four ways among federal cash, USDA donations, and local and state funding with students paying the remainder.

Mid Year Food Outlook Sees Higher Spending and Stable Per Capita Use

Consumers spend more on food in 1962 due to higher marketing costs and pricier foods, yet per person consumption stays near last year. Beef and pork supplies remain steady while chicken is set to dip. milk production rises boosting dairy products and eggs, with summer prices easing. Fresh vegetables and potatoes tighten, but overall supplies stay ample. pork remains economical, bacon and smoked cuts trend lower or near specials, and turkey stays a strong value amid ample storage.
