Taking action can come in many shapes and sizes

This is a story about how an individual wanted to know more about school lunches and the debt that accrues in school districts. 

And then in a moment of great humanity, did something simple about it in their community. 

We can take a lesson in how we can be better people in small ways. 

"Why don't they just let them eat?"

Why indeed. The answer involves federal policies and budget constraints, as well as the peculiar American mythology surrounding self-reliance, which somehow extends even to second-graders. But there's a piercing truth in her question that cuts through all the adult rationalization: Why don't we just let them eat?
