here’s a novel idea, take all the money spent for the “let’s move” program and forcing schools to change their lunch menus and give the schools that money to bring back PE classes (physical education)! When I was a kid we had PE everyday for an hour.

What is even more insane is years ago free or reduced lunches were implemented for very low income families. The idea sold to the public was the kids got a decent hot meal at least once a day. Not decent as in Wookies nonsense but food as it was called that would stick to your ribs. You wanted the kid to eat. Home might be soup beans and I knew kids that's all they had to eat literally most evenings. Now the government wants to starve kids as in all kids? Go figure.

Well now they can go home and munch down on FS/EBT Junk Food. BTW I just remembered something about Food Stamps. When I was growing up a woman across the road was raising 9 kids on what little bit her cheating husband gave her after he drank it up. She was on Food Stamps I know that much and the kids got free meals at school. But she had to pay for the Food Stamps. I doubt many realize that was how it started.

The original program was one where you bought Food Stamps from the state depending on your income as to what you paid for them or the pay and receive ratio I guess you could call it. There was a maximum they could buy per month. I know I remember it right.
