I call BS on this. These kids come from families which receive food stamps . its simply not true to say they won’t get fed over the summer if not for this program.
Now, if there is a problem with the parents who get the food stamps and are so inept that they don’t feed their kids, that is a separate issue which should be addressed.
When I was teaching HS there, the trash cans were overflowing with the "nutritious food" from the morning meal. The kids threw out the fruit and cereal and ate the pop tarts.
