Democratic Senator Heather Gustafson of Vadnais Heights argues that providing adequate food to students in schools is crucial for their mental health and academic performance. She claims that students with full stomachs are less likely to have behavioral issues and can focus better on learning. Republican Senator Gary Dames of Redwood Falls, however, counters that there are already laws in place for free and reduced lunches and programs to prevent lunch shaming, which have been effective. Gustafson proposes the implementation of Universal School meals, which could cost the state approximately $190 million annually.
