Students at 24 Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools will eat free next year, regardless of family income. The schools, among the district’s poorest, will serve breakfast and lunch to all students for free starting in the fall under a new program from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Community Eligibility Provision is an amendment to the National School Lunch program, designed to improve access to healthy meals for students in low-income schools.

Dear Forsyth County,

You’re welcome.

Signed, –Taxpayer

P.S. Where in the constitution did we authorize the USDA to take my money to buy everyone two meals?

All part of the plan. Get people to believe government will supply you with your sustenance and then you become its slave.

People who can afford remittances to their “home country,” camera phones, designer sneakers, bling, etc. can afford to feed their children etc. This is just a case of blatantly gaming the system.

Either feed them all for free or end the program. Just like with Social Security. No means test, it just divides the kids. Besides food is not that expensive.

Now there are some programs that need to end: Climate change for one, bailouts for automakers and banks, grants to fake green energy companies. We could buy oodles and oodles of food for what is wasted in these boondoggles.

We stopped after we had three kids, we figured that is all we could afford to feed, clothe, and educate! And I am not a rocket scientist!

Yes, they must be fed for “free” because they’re all so obviously lacking in caloric intake, lol. We’ve got the fattest “poor” people on the planet.

Two free meals a day at school should mean a significant drop in the amount of food stamps given to those families.

But it won’t.

You’ve hit upon the actual reason for this. They’re removing obstacles to children of illegal aliens.

Could it be that two government Michelle Obama school lunches will barely equal one non-Michelle Obama government school lunch? This is be a back door way to subidize the M.O. lunch program.

Exactly

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is a letterhead, and an office and people pushing papers ... they don't generate a penny, let alone be able to provide a 'program'

big deal, food is cheap, climate control is not, and is a lie besides, green energy is another expensive lie, foreign aid to murderous dictators is another rathole and so on and so forth.
