There simply needs to be some place within walking distance where children could go for cheeseburgers, fries, and shakes or whatever.

Kibble.

Shelf-stable, nutritionally-balanced (40/30/30), bags of kibble (or other plain preparation like a just-add-water cereal or mash) that are free to any and all to use. It would cost far less than food stamps, it would probably be far more humane, and if people get tired of kibble, they can figure out a way to get real money to buy different food. (I also would predict the rise of a viable 3rd-party market in kibble flavor additives.)

We should call the kibble "Soylent Green." Because it's made of soy (wink wink, nudge nudge) and it's green, which we all know from our media teachings is a good thing.

It is brilliant! I love it. Make it available to *anyone* (limited to per capita) to eliminate processing costs. No one starves, and no more food stamps or other government programs for food. Make it available in 10 and 25 lb bags, with one bag per person maximum per week.
