This liberal tripe has always annoyed me. Do these same kids starve to death during school vacations and summer breaks? Give me a break.
No student is "owed" a hot lunch in school. For years, my mother would pack me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with maybe a banana or apple and a thermos of milk and I never felt like I was starving or missing out.
It's not that the parents of these children are "too poor" to provide their children with a lunch, it's because they are too lazy and they just don't care. Why don't we just admit that this is the case?
Actually, many of the welfare kids do go hungry on the weekends and vacations.
The one town we lived in had a lunch ministry for the neighborhood kids to feed them at least one decent meal a day. It was just sandwiches, milk, and some fruit, and maybe cookies, but it was something for the kids to eat when the parents could not be bothered feeding them.
