The yogurt company Chobani says it will pay the school lunch debt of students in a district that made headlines by offering the kids cold sunflower butter and jelly sandwiches instead of a hot meal.

The mayor's office confirmed Friday it's co-ordinating with Chobani to accept nearly US$50,000 for Warwick Public Schools. Other businesses and organizations had offered to donate.

Chobani founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya said in a tweet Thursday that as a parent, the news broke his heart. He says access to nutritious food should be a right, not a privilege. The district had said it was owed $77,000 and couldn't assume more debt. It later reversed the decision.

Chobani This is a CEO that truly has empathy. He is to be thanked and celebrated. Buy this company's yogurt ........it's the best.

That’s a start but kids need more than Jam fruit milk etc come on you companies that make millions of us step up and feed these kids

So I had an orange marmalade sandwich for lunch. Rotating with cheese, ham, turkey, corned beef, nutella, and a few other things. Nothing wrong with that. We have hot meals for supper.

Savvy companies looking for a good headline/deed is not a stable way to feed children. This is what taxes are for. Hungry kids can't wait for ppl w money to decide to buy them food.
