Thumbs up to the New York City Department of Education for this one! This summer meals program, which started a couple of years ago, is a program that is meant to give kids that get free or reduced lunch during the academic school year the same benefits in the summer. The food truck this year is in 4 locations all across NYC – one at Orchard Beach in the Bronx and 3 in Queens near parks and libraries. Eric Goldstein, CEO of the department’s Office of School Support Services says “By bringing the food to them we’re able to extend our reach in ways that previously were unattainable.” The food trucks are white and colorful with words that promote free meals in bright colors and a number for people to call and find out where the closest food truck is to them.

What’s Up with High U.S. Egg Prices?
As someone who eats plenty of eggs, the higher prices have not slipped my attention. If you have been grocery shopping recently, or even checked social media, it’s pretty obvious that egg prices are soaring. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average price of a dozen eggs rose 59% last year with prices more than doubling in West Virginia and six other states in the upper Midwest. This jump in price was even more shocking in the case of eggs classified grade A, with prices soaring up to almost 140%.
