BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (AP) - While the other preschoolers were warming up to the vegetable pesto lasagna, 3-year-old Avery Bennett dived in with no hesitation. "Can I have some more lasagna?" Bennett said from her booster seat. "I love it."
She moved on to her seconds, and the other kids at the evening care program in Brattleboro were also chomping down the dish made of spinach, peppers, carrots, tomato, fresh basil and cheese.

All part of the plan. Get people to think health care comes from the government at no cost, what is to stop them from saying the same thing about food?

Karl Marx knew what he was doing when he made free public education one of the ten planks of the Communist Manifesto.
Public education mission-creep. We went fro the three Rs to every extracurricular activity you could think of, and free food.
We are teaching them right. They know where their food is supposed to come from.

Uncle Sam has NO money. All it/he has is what you and I give. So you’re welcome, I provided this for you.

Leave us not kid ourselves!!!
Leave us not "buy the spin"!!!
Leave us call a spade a spade.
Leave "Uncle Sam" out of this.
Substitute "the American Federal Tax Payer" in the statement for the words, "Uncle Sam".
This provides a far more realistic phrase.

When I lived in MA I thought I knew what government dependence was, including generational welfare/SSI families. Then I moved to a small southern town. I’ve been in shock ever since. The number of people on SSI, foodstamps, etc., is staggering. Most are able-bodied. Some brag to me that they can buy more food with their gov. credit card than they can eat. Since they aren’t allowed to buy pet food their animals eat beef and chicken, etc. A lot of them work under the table. It’s totally out of control.

Substitute "the American Federal Tax Payer" in the statement for the words, "Uncle Sam". A more fitting term would be "slave."

Two things stand out here.
One, that it’s an *evening* care facility. Where are these kids’ parents? Why aren’t these kids being fed at home—and how much do they see their parents?
Two, that it’s a *vegetable* lasagna dish. The article did not indicate whether this just happened to be on the menu, or if the facility only provides vegetarian food. While an adult may be able to survive on a vegetarian diet, kids need a balanced diet. Brain development can be permanently affected by an unbalanced diet.

There are 80 million household in the US.
Last week it was reported that 40 million are on food stamps.
Wow. Half of American households are on food stamps.

So here's how some of us first read that line:
