Christie wants the state will provide all three meals for kids. I do not understand something. One minute I hear about an obesity crisis then the next kids are hungry at school. Which one is it???

[USNBandit]

NJ isn’t the first.

[GeronL]

More insanity

[Phillyred]

Why don’t they just go ahead and take state control of the children? Bunk them up and be done with it.

Next: After school government nannies to take care of the kids while parent(s) go to the club and go shopping.

It's not just dinner that he wants to add:

“Life in 2014 is very much different from life 100 years ago and it demands something more for our students. It is time to lengthen both the school day and the school year in New Jersey,” Christie said.

Oh, dear. The governor is really sounding like a Democrat there. Governor, please rethink this idea.

[RitaOK]

What it mostly is, is more socialist overreach, big government expansion and intrusion into the family, with food as the bait.

Who will protest the care and feeding of hungry little state owned drones?

[A_Tradition_Continues]

In-school meals should be deducted from the parents EBT cards. No need to pay twice for food.

[I want the USA back]

Don’t let this guy kid you. He’s no Republican. He’s an opportunist.

Regardless, if he becomes a Republican candidate, the left will spare no effort to destroy him.

[Tired of Taxes]

Just an FYI.

[metmom]

Research has shown that when kids are hungry, that affects not just their academic performance, but also their behavior.

They need research to validate what any parent or teacher already knows??????

Oh, that's right. they're not 'experts".

Sheesh, what morons......

[C210N]

Kids will NOT be fed properly with just School Breakfast, School Lunch and School Dinner... until such time as government supplies School Cookies-and-Milk-Before-Bed and School Midnight-snack. Only then, will kids be properly nourished.

[MeshugeMikey]

Christie's letting his personal issues dictate his political focus..again.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Let's just get rid of the family altogether, and have the kids live at school.

Too bad we lost such a great presidential candidate...

[AppyPappy]

Dumb question: If the parents refuse to feed the kids, why are they still with the parents?

[kaehurowing]

More Free Stuff.

Fat kids are always hungry. Their systems have become accustomed to over eating. When they don't get "full" they think they are hungry.

[midnightcat]

whatever happened to parents feeding their own children? I had breakfast before I left the house and a brown-bag lunch. Often it was peanut butter and jelly. we couldn’t afford anything fancy!

[Idaho_Cowboy]

I'm so tired of fat people in the government telling me how to eat and what to feed my kids.

Just like I'm tired of a government that is billions of dollars in the hole telling me how to spend my money.

It's simple: no food advice from fat people and no money advice from broke people.

[JimRed]

If two parents are working, both until late hours, and are in low paid occupations, I can live with helping them. But you know that half of them will be layabouts too lazy to care for their kids, and who want their alcohol or pot and smokes more than they want to see their kids fed through the money they remove from our pockets that finds its way to theirs.

Momma be swappin’ the EBT for drugs.
Got no grub for the chillern....
