The yogurt company named Chobani is doing their part to pay off the school lunch debt that the Twin Falls School District has incurred since they have a policy in the state of Idaho that all students deserve to have their lunch even though the loss of revenue to feed 900 students is around $85,000 dollars in the last school year.
Eva Craner who is the spokeswoman for the school district mentions that the donation of the money from Chobani will assist the school feed their students healthy food and give them a quality education as well.

@raksk Both sides win since Chobani gets some great public relations and a school can pay the bills.

I love it when a food company gives me to people in need.

Wouldn't it be nice if food companies would give significant discounts -- or FREE -- food to the schools for the lunches? And by that, I mean vegetables, not Fritos.

That would a great idea since a healthy school lunch is needed for all students to have sharp minds as well as bodies.

@JohnRoberts — sorry, the PC police are chasing him, so he’s living in exile with Speedy Gonzales.

All students should have a healthy lunch. I look at the crap that my school offers the non-free lunch kids and it is awful. There are kids with 4 cookies and a bag of chips and that is their lunch. At least the healthy lunch line requires them to have a vegetable and fruit with their meal. Yes, many throw them out but some of them eat it.

It is a shame that some school lunches are not healthy for kids.

I heard that Chobani was doing this, I love their yogurt, I hope more companies follow suit, because a kid can’t do well in school if they are hungry!

I agree with you that more food companies should assist schools around the globe to pay off school lunches where the debts are pretty high.
