Biden Seeks to Expand Free School Meal Programs

WASHINGTON—President Biden pushed to expand free school meals Wednesday as part of a new national strategy to end hunger and increase healthy eating by 2030.

The administration’s push to stamp out hunger comes at a time when rising food costs have become a political liability for Democrats ahead of this fall’s midterm elections. Grocery prices increased 0.7% in August from a month earlier and 13.5% over the past year, according to the Labor Department.

“My plan would make at least nine million more children eligible for free school meals—a major first step for free meals for every single student,” Mr. Biden said at a White House conference focused on nutrition, hunger and health.

Republicans, who said the White House had done little outreach to them ahead of the conference, expressed skepticism about broadening federal nutrition programs, including free school meals.
