We had a speaker come speak to our Kiwanis chapter about giving money to support a program to send food home with students on weekends. The speaker told us “These kids don’t have food at home and may not get to eat if we don’t send this food”.
My hand shot up. “If these kids are being neglected that badly, shouldn’t Social Services step in?”.
Crickets....
We are giving them food so they can spend that money on cigarettes

The whole America-Is-Hungry campaign to me is a gigantic fraud. Where I live, western Wisconsin, we are constantly subjected to ads for programs to “feed the hungry.” And I always exclaim to the tv set, WHERE????? Where are these hungry, starving people? They sure aren’t anywhere where I go. Just walk through the local Walmarts and try to find these starving people. You’ll see quite the opposite and get the impression a very large pct. of the local population should go a long diet.
