I like beef flavor
Providing food is what they are supposed to have parents for. But when you spend your welfare check on dope and trade your food stamps for crack...???
Let's see: We only feed, clothe, provide medical care, and rebuild the schoolrooms of children whose countries we've bombed first.
If the children are on US soil, they can just die. Unless they're preborn babies. Then they have to be born first, and then they can just die.
Have I got this right?
Just take any bathtub cheese from immigrants
I don’t even think I ate those crappy lunches they provided in high school. Not crazy about taco pizza and tater tots every day. Besides, I had to save up for smokes.
Lot’s of cynicism in this thread. Here’s some reality. My better half was at the gym and her instructor asked my wife if she wouldn’t mind helping out this family. Apparently, a loving husband and wife had four children (2 teens and 2 toddlers). The husband died at a very young age and the mother developed an illness requiring her to be wait listed for a heart lung transplant. Being as sick as she was, she was unable to work. Buying a $600 car for transportation was a tremendous family burden. Fact is, those four kids were already heart-broken and are in a financial position not of their choosing. We have sort of adopted this family and have made it a point to help in any way possible.
Point of all this? It’s easy to lump an entire class of persons into moochers, but behind those classes are individual stories of real heart break and financial destitution and they might just need that little, and I mean little, extra help in the form of a warm school lunch. Sorry if I offended anyone, but as a person of faith, I felt compelled to share that story.
Who is dying here? A government agency deseperate to declare itself necessary?
Al Gore’s fault.
We had a half acre of garden I worked in during the summers. I learned to love fresh vegetables.
I like the sign. But it puts another thought into my warped head. I rifle, one round and Bambi = meat for several days if not for a month.
I liked the tater tots.... My neice tells me they have Chik-fil-A in the school now.
dang.
Exactly how many children died from missing a couple of days of school, oh Drama Queen?
Flour, sugar, powdered milk, bisquik etc.
Very cheap to buy and store, avoids hunger.
Nope. But how about this? Most of us are plenty frustrated to be supporting kids of able bodied Americans who can afford cell phones and junk food but “can’t” feed their kids if the school doesn’t do it. That’s not the same as wishing them dead. It’s wishing them something better than their parents are giving them, namely responsibility and a chance at a productive life.
BTW I taught at a school where about 40% of the student body was on free or reduced lunch. Much of the food ended up in the garbage, wasted. Really *hungry* people don’t throw away food.
Actually that is a great example of how things should be handled but in 2010 the Govt is expected to provide everything.
Hat tip to you quido911.
“Some also get breakfast, dinner and bags of staple foods to take home for the weekend.”
Three meals a day and take home food?
Quelle suprise. ‘Momma don’t cook’. (for one reason or another)
The ‘foodstamp queens’ in my town buy better food than we do.....and we’re on a very tight budget.
That is the spirit of a true American. You did something not the government. And that is how it should be.
