Yeah, well, they don't. Which means that there are a lot of little kids like these who, through no fault of their own, are stuck in a place where they have to go to school to get a real meal.

Feeding a child is a very basic part of parenthood. A parent who refuses to feed her child is being grossly negligent. Children should be taken away from grossly negligent parents.
The cost of feeding a child breakfast for a month is about the same as a carton of cigarettes, or a 12 pack of beer, to put it in relevant perspective.

You’ve fallen into the socialist trap. Now, I’m not saying we should stand athwart free breakfasts yelling “Stop!” due to the ominous implications. What I am saying is that your question assumes far, far too much, and once you seriously ask it, there’s no end to what you consign yourself. It’s the exact question, in other words, that led to Obamacare. (”What do you propose to do about the uninsured instead?”)
