If the government would get off of family's backs... Wouldn't have this problem would we?

There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.
To: ChicagoConservative27
The government can only give you what it first takes from you.

It’s more like “What AMERICA and AMERICANs lost when the US started giving away universal free school meals.”
Self-reliance. Dignity. Hard work. Thrift. Taking care of your family. You know...all those good old-fashioned American values that made the country great.

It’s all going toward the 31 trillion debt and counting.

I remember most people hated the school provided lunches except for tater tots.

Well said. Old America hanging on by a thread.

The Hill is no better than CNN so can we stop treating it like a legitimate “news”
source?

And to think I used to complain about the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and an apple I got to take to school for lunch everyday when I was a kid.....

Nobody lost anything.
We were poor growing up and there were no free lunches at school. My parents managed to send us off with a sandwich and dessert every day in spite of that.

If you have a kid and can’t afford make him/her a P&J sandwich for lunch, you should not have kids.

I thought poor families received EBT credits specifically to feed their dependent children. School lunch at public expense seems redundant.
To: ChicagoConservative27
If you can feed your kids without taxpayer assistance then don’t have kids. I’m very old school about this. The father is responsible for supporting his family. If he knowingly doesn’t do that he should be forced into labor, not prison. When he decides he can get a job on his own and pay support he will be relieved of his indentured servitude.

To: ChicagoConservative27
Maybe the food they feed kids in other areas is better than what they feed in the school lunch program locally, but there is very little nutrition in what is provided in my area. Mainly high carb, high fat, low quality, highly processed food. Essentially fast food. Nothing like the school lunch program I remember as a kid where the food was a well planned meal. Cooked on the premises by a bunch of older ladies who knew how to cook.

In the great depression, the county took extra farmer’s vegetables, canned them and gave them away to folks in need. Grandpa wouldn’t take them. He said they were sharecroppers but they weren’t poor.
To: Nevadan
Lunch ladies? Hah, we had to make our own library paste
sandwiches with linoleum we stole from the hall ways.

Did you drink your milk through a rolled up newspaper, too? I'll bet you lived in a tumbledown house with holes in the roof.

My classroom was adjacent to the outdoor lunch area at our high school. The trashcans were overflowing with uneaten food each day.
Only the milk cartons were empty. All the ketchup packets were stomped on the ground.

There are three classes of people going hungry in the US.
Abused children, abused seniors and people who are stuck in the morass of paperwork that you need to get on government assistance.
Sadly these are the three groups of people that no one in the government actually cares about.
