“”One in four students in Travis County are living in a food-insecure household”

And I GUARANTEE they dress well,have nice jewelry,and have better electronics than many in the USA.
Why waste money on food?
.

You left out tats and recreational drugs on your excellent list.
Also, how many worthless liberals are making 5-6 figure yearly salaries for managing these payments from tax paying Texans to those who just take.
Based on what? I'd like to see a "weigh-in" of the parents in these households. I doubt there is a BMI of less than 35.
Can I ask a stupid question?
Obama was president for eight years, and was liberal, compassionate, the whole 9 yards. And the food stamp SNAP program has been around for decades. My stupid question is, how can so many people be food insecure???
And if they are, who didn’t Obama work to solve this major societal problem, if the problem is that we simply didn’t spend enough on food stamps? Why is anyone hungry in America?
Ok I asked a few stupid questions, but still worth discussing.
I knew a teacher that would send every student in her class home with a loaf of sandwiches during holiday breaks because she knew the kids never got fed at home.
Exactly. I drove a 20 year old car, was chosen for my kid to receive free meals because last name looks somewhat Hispanic, we’re not eligible though so turned it down. Every morning I saw parents coming out of the free breakfast cafeteria, heading to MUCH NICER CARS THAN MINE, with handfuls of pastries and yogurts they took from their kid’s breakfast tray to enjoy on their own. (They allowed parents to sit with their kids at breakfast in there.)
