I don’t think it’s any of the gov’t’s business if the kids or the parents are fat. When you start saying that parents are not feeding their children “properly”, you’re opening a big can of worms where the gov’t gets to tell families how to raise their kids.

Foodstamps shouldn’t pay for junk food so why should government lunches? If parents really want their kids to eat french fries and chickens nuggets everyday for lunch then they can pack a lunch.
