After she gives birth, why doesn't she just leave the child at the hospital?

Why bother with all this parenting and personal responsibility when the state will do it all for you??

These liberal pols make me sick.

Thank Goodness! I thought I was maybe nuts, or being mean to hungry kids or something! The more I think about this, the more I see:

1. It's GOTTA be a fully funded Government PROGRAM.
2. Fully STAFFED by UNION members, of course!
3. More food contracts for McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Vending Machine companies, etc.

This isn't about feeding hungry kids. It's about milking the government cow, also known as The Taxpayer!

"Our daughter just loves to jump out of bed early and make breakfast for Mommy and me."

I'm sorry. We're going to make that illegal. It sounds like child labor. Also, it deprives them of having breakfast with their peer group, which is so much more important than the adults who house them. Besides, shouldn't she be in Head Start so she can learn to watch cartoons in the morning?

I can't believe what I just read! My God, the family around breakfast is the American way. Do mothers just throw the kids out the door so she can have her quiet time? Where in the hell are the fathers? I say NO BREAKFASTS PERIOD served in schools! This is insane.

We Badgers eat too much, drink too much, are too over weight, have too many guns, eat too many mercury poisoned fish, drive our snowmobiles too fast, smoke too much, underfund our schools, need state funded preschool, and are too stingy to buy breakfast for every kid in the state, our septic tanks are destroying the environment, etc...

But kids score high on the SATs and we have the longest life expectancy in the nation.

Clearly, more socialism is the answer

Rant off/Sarcasm off

Geesh...I'm an idiot...Cause I thought when reading the headline..that someone actually was embarrassed that they would be even "offering" school breakfast's.

I've been duped again.............

"The fact that they can go to school earlier, was the number one reason why we went with it," Anna's mother, Jodi Toppel said. "Now that they have the breakfast there, it's a lot less hassles in the morning."

Amazing.. its a hassle to put some cereal on a bowl and poor milk on it for your own KIDS!!!! I'm glad this self centered narcicist wasn't my mother... lazy [*&^#%@]!

However, only hot lunch was provided the "poor" kids. The rest including my nephew had to sit and eat a cold sack lunch prepared by their mother, while watching the "poor" kids eat their hot lunch.

And Heaven help you if you send your kid to school with the contraband substance in her sandwich....

PEANUT BUTTER

or your looking at hard time....

Just wait 'till the grass starts growing... I think she may be able to handle the mower if I get the electric start... ;^}

OK, but only until she's strong enough to use the push mower.

Hell when I was growing up I never had breakfast. It had nothing to do with money, my family is very wealthy, I just wanted to sleep an extra twenty or so minutes. I almost never eat breakfast now, it's really not a big deal.

My family was low income. But, I never had school breakfasts. It was cheaper to have a bowl of cereal in the morning, rather than get up earlier to eat at school.

Why don't they just sleep there and the state can call it an orphanage!

"Hell when I was growing up I never had breakfast."

Well, according to the 'experts', kids who don't eat breakfast can't learn. You and I never ate breakfast, therefore, we should not be able to read, write, and make a living. I guess we must have messed up somewhere!

The other day I read that today's kids are facing an obesity "epidemic" which will shorten their life spans, so they can stand to skip a few meals.

Where in the hell are the fathers?

Surely you jest. Are women supposed to know who fathered their child without a DNA test? What a novel idea that would be.

Yeah, everywhere I go, I see people walking around eating. Don't they ever stop? It was considered rude, especially for adults, to eat while walking around in public when I was a kid. Go home to eat. Of course, there's no one home, so why bother. Now it's like breathing. They need to do eat all the time.
But they never play. Go to a park and look at the number of kids playing baseball or anything else, for that matter. The only kids that play at parks now are the ones the day care centers dump there.

What's really embarrassing is an article about schools that misspells a key word in the headline.
