We have the fattest poor people in the U.S.
We have the richest poor people in the world.
Gee Mr. Wizard, what is the correlation?
OMG Lyndon what about EBT, SNAP, school breakfast, lunch, and dinner???
It goes without saying that it is racist or at least cold-hearted to suggest that parents be expected to feed their own children.
Don't forget the tattoos. Makes me sick when I see these people standing in line for freebies that I pay for.
You mean at least half!
Yep, in countries where this is a real problem, there are significant numbers of children starving every year, but we don’t have that issue.
The only children that starve in the USA are the ones who are intentionally abused by their parents and caregivers.
Get a job! That’s what I did!
Support of bad decision making?
Bulls***-with all the free food given away at schools from the time kids arrive to when they go home, the problem is fat kids-not hungry ones in cities-you can see them waddling on/off the busses in the AM if you work in the city. You don’t see fat kids-not many fat adults, either-out here, but kids in these rural places are increasingly homeschooled or in small Christian schools and have parents who care for and feed them-and most people here are working class-not well off-as in normal people/parents-they don’t ask for free stuff from other taxpayers...
The rest of us are not responsible for other peoples’ kids-they need to do the parenting themselves-or if that mom would rather have fancy nails, clothes, hair cars than spend money to take care of their kid, give the kid for adoption to someone who will actually be a parent, loving and providing like normal people do...
On the surface, the School Lunch Program was a good idea. However, then the bureaucrats came in to threaten schools, that if they didn’t implement *hundreds* of unrelated federal rules, their Lunch Program money would be cut off.
It became so onerous and expensive to school district, that some years ago, schools did the math and figured out they could deliver better food and more of it, *without* federal funding, and could say “to hell with those hundreds of other demands”. Which would actually *save* them money.
Needless to say, the MSM only gave this minimal coverage, and more leftist school administrations and districts didn’t even consider it.
Too many fat kids in school now as it is. End the free lunches
Take out all the soda machines and replace them with the old cigarette vending machines
That will keep them nice and thin
I was a single mom for a couple years-supported my cub with my paycheck and did college classes part time-my mom helped with babysitting and some fresh food-easy when living in the country-but I never got one bite of government cheese, one dime of welfare, etc-I never even applied for it...
So the narrative is that the GOP is starving your children.
So what….the dems are raping them and turning them into slaves.
Really.? Why would we want to do that..? The kids we're raising in the cities today are like crazed animals. Someday soon, I expect them to start killing and eating us..!
When Covid hit-—The local school buses were DELIVERING lunches to local kids-—rural—FULL size buses that cost alot in fuel.
I WAS LIVID.
We can feed the hungry for only 40 trillion. Problem solved.
“child hunger”
WTH? We are the fattest nation one earth, by far. WHAT “child hunger”? Is this 1932 Appalachia?
I went to school, long ago. Feed me?
One word - parents. They should be held accountable for taking care of a child's needs, including food. There are lots of social services programs to help poor parents. Why aren't they held accountable? Why aren't the parents of hungry kids held accountable? Parent(s)!
Kids in schools throw out so much of the free breakfasts and lunches, what’s the point.
The actual solution to solving “child hunger” is for the PARENTS to take their own responsibility to feed and clothe their kids themselves.
I was never polled. I don’t support this. It’s pure old fashioned communism.
