“I’m for cutting out that free lunch program in schools-if a parent is getting food stamps, they can damned well pack their kid a healthy lunch-meat/cheese sandwich, fresh fruit, some raw veggies...”

Yes, and if they can’t get their priorities right and feed their children FIRST - before getting hair extensions, tattoos, beer, drugs, fake fingernails, designer clothing and lottery tickets - remove the children from the home and make the parents attend parenting and nutrition classes until they have proven they know how to take care of their children. Tough love!
Like I said in another post, even out here in BFE, you have a few women grocery shopping with EBT cards-they are all orcas-250 lbs or more, I swear-with carts full of boxed cereal, chips, candy, frozen convenience food and pizzas-all empty calories and carbs-they need nutrition classes and a 1200 calorie a day diet for sure-I eat about that amount, but it is fresh food that I cook, and I do a physical job-it is probably healthy, since I’ve weighed 108-110 since I was 17, except when I was pregnant...
When I was in college, there was an on-campus nutrition program meant for kids away from home for the 1st time who didn’t know anything about healthy eating or cooking fresh food-it was even free. When I was pregnant with the cub, my military insurance paid for Lamaze classes-and parenting and nutrition classes if you wanted them-if Obamacare is so great, why doesn’t it pay for that? Or better yet, make those nutrition and cooking classes a requirement for anyone getting an EBT card...
I also wonder about the orcas with the EBT cards having fancy fake nails-they all seem to have those-like it is an obsession of some kind-and they are all wearing designer Calvin Swine jeans-makes me grit my teeth, since I wear non-fancy label jeans to work every day-and buy them online for $10.00 per pair...
