On the left, a boxer in trunks, fists raised. His head has been replaced with the staring eye of HAL 9000 from Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' He wears a top hat. On the right, a squinting child in 19th century ragamuffin garb. Behind the boxer, a cascade of gold coins pours out of a giant sack. Beside the kid, a piggy bank. They stand in a school playground with a tumbledown tenement behind it.

Three companies control the market for school lunch payments. They take as much as 60 cents out of every dollar poor kids' parents put into the system to the tune of $100m/year. They're literally stealing poor kids' lunch money.
