Research on family dinners has shown a plethora of benefits: [...] Do children reap those benefits because they have dinner with their families, or do the same families that have dinner together display other traits that account for higher achievement?
It's because they actually HAVE families to have dinner with. A mother AND a father cannot be replaced by free meal.
More recent research indicates...
Ah yes, my money spent on "research" that determined more of my money should be taken and given to the leisure class - brilliant!
But if we ask questions such as you propose then the media and Democrats will claim that Republicans want kids to go hungry. Its like we are trapped on issues like this. Any changes or cutbacks will be spun by liberals as the GOP wanting to cut back social programs for no good reason.
LAUSD currently serves supper to 75,000 students and plans to expand the program to about 150,000 over the next two years. School officials estimate it will generate $16.6 million in revenue... *DING*DING*DING*DING*WE HAVE A WINNER!
“If these meals help alleviate stress, it could actually be good and open up more time for families,” she said.
WTF? Where in the h e ‘double hockey sticks’ is their families? Why aren’t they being fed? The parental units are either working or on welfare. There won’t be any family time give me a break.
Just recently stopped in a 7-11, big sign Our pizzas are EBT eligible. EBT money being spent on highly overpriced pizza.
An extra thigh and a biscuit, please. Oh, and can I get that to go? Momma’s waitin’ outside in her Mercedes...
Are these so-called “parents” too stupid to feed their own kids dinner?
Does anyone ever mention academics in a school story anymore?
Drives me nuts this crap.
They get their handouts from us, they get handouts form the likes of the Salvation army, free turkeys etc at thanksgiving, from churches etc. Yet they drive nice frigging cars, buy their soda, chips etc on our dime.
If Chewbacca wants kids to eat healthy then make the law for those who are on Govt handouts making them only being bale to buy fruit and veggies.
Saying that they also like you said sell their EBT , they lie to get it, and one can go in to where I used to live and tell the Indian or Paki who owns the store that you wants cigs but put the sake as a box of cereal.
I used to see that all the time from people who came in from the projects.
If you can’t afford kids then don’t damn have them in the first place. We waited years and made use we had some money to support ourselves. We are not rich , live in a small house and drive not fancy or new cars but we do pay for our kids and work.
Not so much in LAUSD. LA’s blacks have been migrating to Riverside and San Bernardino as their old neighborhoods are overrun by the citizens of Mexico and points farther south.
AGREED
I’m sick of going to Winn Dixie here and seeing them use their EBT buying sodas, chips and coming up for the super bowl they will have their barbecue food ready for the party.
Then they get in a nice vehicle and my kids have told me that they know the mothers kids and they get free food at school too..
The traditional proud family has nearly gone thanks to liberals, socialists, and communists.
How about two pieces of toast and jam for breakfast like I had. Not much money but then I would have a apple for a snack, not much money.
Lunch was a sandwich with either a piece of deli meat or a slice of cheese but never both because we could not afford it.
Dinner was sit down and have the bigger meal and then milk and cookies for supper.
Don’t have these kids if you can’t afford them or give them the time for them.
More schools become parents, film at 11.
The parents are probably working. No one is checking to see if they aren’t, that takes time and resources that the schools aren’t paid to worry about.
It’s very common for illegal aliens to have way more spending money than Americans working the same jobs.
Illegals can work off the books. And when you don’t pay taxes or insurance or license fees or a hundred other legal requirements you get to keep all your money. And now the schools will pick up your food bill.
Only in America. I think I’ll become an illegal.
” The whole school dinner thing is just one more step for the Open Borders lobby.”
EZ call.
About time! Mama needs to get a new weave and have her nails done.
One stop welfare check care.
“If Chewbacca wants kids to eat healthy then make the law for those who are on Govt handouts making them only being able to buy fruit and veggies.”
You’ll make the processed food industry very angry if you do that.
People have the mistaken idea that the push for food stamps comes from the poor. The money goes to corporations that supply it and they give big political donations to make sure that the free food program just gets bigger.
That’s why you won’t see the GOP establishment doing anything about it. They are on the side of their donors, not the average American. Just the same as the Democrats.
That’s a damn good question.
“All your bastards are belong to us.”
And sterilize these helpless people before their numbers quadruple.
