Detroit Schools: Free lunch for EVERYONE

Yes, it's true. We have three free meals a day handed out in D.C. schools and in 13 states and in some schools without filling out paperwork. And Detroit is now handing out free lunches to every student as part of a pilot program. NRO:
Funnily enough, they failed to mention the recent $4.5 billion expansion of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, which will now provide free lunches to ALL — rich and poor, needy and non-needy — of Detroit’s 65,800 public school-students. (Detroit is one of three pilot programs starting this month for a free-for-all that will ultimately cover similar districts nationwide.)
Why?
“Now all students will walk through a lunch line and not have to pay,” says Mark Schrupp, Detroit Public Schools COO. “Low-income students will not be easily identifiable and will be less likely to skip meals.”
  Our federal overlords are working very hard to avoid stigma to those of us who receive all the free stuff they're giving out. 
  They want to make sure no one stops getting the free stuff.
