National School Lunch Program  
The National School Lunch Act was signed on June 4, 1946 by President, Harry S. Truman. The legislation came in response to claims that many American men had been rejected for World War II military service because of diet related health problems.  

National School Breakfast Program  
The School Breakfast Program was started by President, Lyndon B. Johnson on October 11, 1966 when he signed the Child Nutrition Act of 1966. It is a federally assisted meal program that provides nutrition balanced meals at low cost or free to children in public and nonprofit private schools and residential child care institutions.
