The school districts in this article are not "poor" by ANY means; these parents (single or otherwise) CAN afford to feed their kids breakfast at home.

I seriously doubt there is a single school district in the USA where people are too poor to feed their kids breakfast. That's just pro-socialist BS. Now, there are certainly plenty of parents too lazy to drag their carcasses out of bed to make breakfast for their kids, but I'd sure like someone to show me a family in the USA who honestly can't get any food.

How could they be? They get free cereal, milk and orange juice through WIC and they get hundreds of dollars in food stamps for anything else they might want to eat. I have worked with children's programs where some of the kids participating were from low-income homes, and the common denominator was laziness. The children frequently didn't even make it to school, because none of the "adults" (all female) in the house could drag themselves out of bed early enough to get the kids up and ready for school.
