My mother made 10 brown-bag lunches every school day for me and my siblings, even when we went to Catholic school. My dad would have never have allowed us to eat “free” lunches, and I thank him for instilling that value in us all.
My mother would go into fits of purple rage over the mere fact that our school sent home an APPLICATION FORM for free lunches. My dad did not earn a whole lot but her pride would have never allowed us to eat on the public dime.
Making food free for all gets the Liberals neatly around that little obstacle.
