If you are away from your kid so much that he is taking all his/her meals at the school, I don't know what you are but you certainly are not a parent. Some sort of biological storage unit until the "life form" becomes viable.

And this isn't just a ghetto thing. There are suburban people who drop their kids off well before eight am (before school care) and have them bussed to after school care facilities picking them up at 5,6 pm at night. 10, 11, 12 hours a day the kids are in these places.

The schools are get paid for these food programs. So they are pushing the story that this ‘free’ food program is necessary. Take what they say with a grain of salt. A lot of grains of salt.

And the food vendors make more money if there’s a bigger food giveaway. And there’s parents who are more than happy to have you pay to feed their children.

So you have three special interest groups that make money or benefit from this program. Versus an unorganized mass of taxpayers. Guess who wins.
