The state of Washington (USA) is debating a bill that would require some schools to increase their "lunch hour" to 20 "seated" minutes. WTF?

My son (born '95) had "about an hour" for lunch. Has that gone away, nationwide? Jesus Christ on a pogo stick.

1. Nearly 20 Washington school districts spoke in opposition of the state's mandatory lunchtime length proposal, many saying it was too much time and too costly of a change. In November, the KING 5 Investigators found most of the 31 districts surveyed had schools with lunch times of 20 minutes. However, those lunch periods typically include the time a child stands in line waiting for a hot meal and clean up time. With increased use of free and reduced-price lunches in many districts, lines are longer now and many kids have far fewer than 20 minutes to eat their lunch. Two districts, Stanwood-Camano and Everett, had schools with lunch periods only 15 minutes long.
