The main reason that children go "hungry", if they do is because the parents spend the money that should go for food on dope, cigerettes, alcohol, and gambleing. Personally, I have yet to see a starving child in the United States. The foodstamps that the government buys with stolen money to give to these parents are immediate converted to cash topurchase more drugs, cigerettes,alcohol,and used to gamble with.

Anyway, I took care of my children while they were growing up. Their needs ,and to the extent that I could , wants came first. There was a blind couple in our town that put two children through college without the government's help. He sold peanuts and she sewed.

"yet to see a starving child"

That's just it. While there might be a few families in every locality who have a little trouble putting adequate food on the table, the media has tried to make the public believe millions of Americans are hungry and/or starving. It's all bunk. Even here in Wisconsin they have The Hunger Task Force, and we're seeing countless ads to help all those "hungry and starving" people many of whom I gather live around me.

My question to the various orgs. devoted to feeding the "hungry and starving is: Where the heck are they? All I see every time I go out are very well-fed Americans. And my wife and I and travel around. We've been to every state west of the Mississippi in the last ten years, and we've yet to see those hungry and starving people. Like here in the Midwest, tons of very well-fed Americans.
