Lunchroom cafeteria expences

Lunch at school is way too much a day I am not rich. I understand my mom makes good money enough to pay bills and such but 2.50 a day for some whatever lunch you got to be kidding me. I can't even get reduced lunch without them saying we get paid too much, if that was the case too much money would be not living in upland or not living in a apartment. I want lunch to be forty cents like everybody else's lunch or free. What if some people don't have enough to pay the high prices of everyday lunch and then starve because the school thinks we get paid too much which isnt always the case. I say free to minimum priced lunch as soon as possible. The school can always find ways to make money rather than charging kids over priced lunches.
