There is free lunches in LA School district even encourage well to do families in district eat school food
There plenty of commeical saying about you see on local channel California for change they really corrupt originaly suppose to be about childhood obsesity not anymore it mostly how get school kids eat school lunches poor or not
Mom made lunch for the 4 of us until we got older and we did it ourselves. Yeah, baloney or PB sandwich and an apple and some pretzels.
Remember that most of the ones getting the free food are on food stamps so they are double dipping. The rest are just freeloading.
LBJ's WAR ON POVERTY and the resultant socialist government have destroyed most US cities and turned them into holding pens for low-info humanoid cattle.
And that is the way democrats and other communists like it.
You don't see politicians and liberal elites living in the urban ghettos they have created.
This is a common practice over the world in socialized countries, something never cited by the Ds. I hate these people.
I took my lunch. I think we were poor since my father was frequently unemployed (alcoholic) but I never went hungry.
Always had breakfast @ home. Eggs/toast, oatmeal/grapefruit, etc. Don’t recall breakfast being offered @ school. Took lunch, usually salami sandwiches, maybe cookie or graham cracker ‘w icing. Bought my own on Friday, as I was hooked on the fish sandwiches, an extra one was a 25¢, malts were a dime, but no soda offered for sale. Had change from paper route, nbd.
My mother would go into fits of purple rage over the mere fact that our school sent home an APPLICATION FORM for free lunches. My dad did not earn a whole lot but her pride would have never allowed us to eat on the public dime.
Making food free for all gets the Liberals neatly around that little obstacle.
Today, lunch costs about $3.00 per day. There is skim milk in a yucky plastic bag, and other junk like salads and a hoagie roll with very little meat in it. Not much protein at all. So, I fix lunch for my children.
Different today than when most of us went to school.
We had very little but dad worked hard to put food on the table. Mother made sure we had hot meal for breakfast and clean cloths. I carried my lunch in a wore out lunch box. Sandwich and sometime some fruit.
For a lot of kids today. They Dont know where dad is. May not even know where mom is half the time.
School in our day was to teach. Now it is the primary care provider.
Your heart crys for the children and another lost generation of Americans.
Nope. And there were a few years where Mom and Dad didn't have two nickels to rub together.
I ate a lot of Peanut Butter sandwiches those years. Which was OK, because I liked, and still like PB. Had that, and an apple (good! nice and crisp) for lunch today as a matter of fact.
But I never went hungry. Mom would have been ashamed to have something like that happen.
They do that on Thursdays at WBill Jr's school. He says its "OK", which is about how *I* remember it, too. :-)
I've had the Moochelle-sponsored lunches when I visit him for lunch. They're pretty bad. Kids, for the most part, eat the desserts and nibble around the edges of the rest. I don't blame them - last time I went it was "Corn Dog Nuggets" (no idea how THOSE are healthy) and steamed corn. I'm too old to be particular, but my only thought was "Yick". No idea what a finicky 7 year old would think.
Lots and lots of food getting wasted.
mrsmel, are you attempting to undercut the First Wookie? You realize of course that Michelle is the smartest first woman this country has ever had...pointing out an ovious contradiction in this administration’s policies can be grounds for a visit from your local CAIR representative...
Our staple was usually either a big pot of oatmeal (not the instant kind), or a big cookie sheet of cinnamon or cheese toast. My mom had to make breakfast every morning for 10 kids and our dad, so it had to be things which were inexpensive, filling, and could be quickly made in quantities.
Weekends were for pancakes, fired eggs, etc. Or my dad would make beignets from scratch.
My mom did the weekday cooking-meatloaf, hamburgers, a pot of soup, those kinds of things. My dad was an excellent Cajun/Creole ccok, so he did the weekend cooking, which was things like gumbo, jumbalaya, and pork roast.
And we never, never ate cold packaged cereal, had anything to drink except water, ice tea, or milk right from a cow owned by a neighbor from whom we bought it. No chips or such for snacks-my dad kept a garden, which we helped to work in-corn, beans, cucumbers, the usual. When we came home from school, there was a bushel basket of cucumbers by the back door, and we’d grab one, peel it, salt it, and eat it like a candy bar.
My sisters and I (all 6 of us) would collect bottles to return to split one or two rootbeers between us about once or twice a month. That was a major treat.
And we were all healthy as horses :)
Silly me. I always thought feeding the kids was the parents’ responsibility.
Will clothing be provided be next?
.
I wish that I had the power and authority to undercut that thief, and all the other thieves who steal money from working people to pass out to their useful idiots so they can propagate class warfare and parasitism. I wish I and every other person in this country had the right, as we should, to decide if we want our hard-earned money to support these leeches in the style to which they believe they’re entitled. They’d all starve first waiting for a cent from me.
