The program was signed into law in June 1946 by Harry S. Truman and was originated by Congressman Richard B. Russell. The program used to have accountability, but I believe that's been removed and replace with a 4 year accounting scheme which has more holes than swiss cheese and greatly susceptible to fraud https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q...HMyMjOQ3lT6qHg. 74 pages. The rational is that it reduces application burdens and simplifies meal counting and claiming procedures http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/governan..._FactSheet.htm While a long, unintelligible drone with all the lawyerese, amendments, and repeals http://uscode.house.gov/download/pls/42C13.txt, the original intent of the National School Lunch Act seems to have been rooted in a desire to prop up farm commodity prices by purchasing and using farm surplus food products rather than paying not to grow. I haven't seen that premise in the background discussion of the bill (because I haven't found it yet) or any direct quote from anyone originally involved, but it is alluded to around the internet and I did find a statement (by inclusion) in a google books rendition of American Farm Policy 1948 - 1973 by Willard W. Chochrane and Mary E. Ryan http://In which the bill was somethi...201946&f=false (scroll up to chapter heading then read through) I thought about getting it, but the book retails for $60.00. Wading through the incomprehensible fog of the interminable legal text, I perceive the bill has been amended constantly from the mid 1950's to the present, with revisions and amendments becoming an incremental flurry to blizzard sometime from the 1980's. I'd have to print it out and study it to find if the original text exists. I don't think it's the same bill at all that it was in 1946, and I believe that in some cases adults qualify for free meals on the program without being associated with any form of education being performed. Full name of the act: Quote:
