What makes your comment truly funny, is that there are those who think that way.

Its the governments responsibility to feed them AND its the governments job to make sure they stay safe and warm.

I don't think it's funny, I think it's pretty sad actually. Yes, it's true there are ALOT of parents of Chicago Public School kids who don't feed their kids -- the school's do it.

About 15 years ago when I worked for a large advertising agency in Chicago (Leo Burnett) we did alot of volunteer work, one year we spent a number of weekends rehabbing kitchens and pantries in Chicago Public Schools in some pretty poor neighborhoods. It was painfully obvious that were it not for the meals these kids got at school they'd probably go hungry. These schools fed these kids 365 days a year.

Not saying it's right, not saying I agree schools should feed the kids ... just saying what's happening.
