Don’t worry, the food still tastes the same.

I thought the Freshman Fifteen was a positive number.

many who got free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch as K-12 students suddenly find themselves struggling to navigate the system in college.
translation: The never learn how to fend for themselves because they were hand-fed with freebies from age six onwards. Like a lion cub raised in captivity and then released into the wild to fend for itself.

If you fail to "navigate the system" to find food, then maybe you don't belong in college.

People earning college degrees who can’t manage to make out welfare forms? It isn’t as if they were in cursive writing or required algebra or anything tough like that...

Their college experience is designed to enshrine dependency as a way of life.

I can remember going hungry a few times.
I attended on a full athletic scholarship which paid for everything plus I had a student job in the evening.
The best thing about the scholarship was the training table. It was only at supper but was all you could eat and twice a week we got steaks, good ones too.
I would eat a hearty meal and take maybe 6 ice cream sandwiches home with me. I lived off campus. For breakfast I would eat two of the ICSs then for lunch the rest of them. Then supper would repeat.
In my last year my eligibility ran out and I had to get by on the student job. As I said, I went hungry a few times before graduation.

Well, at least in San Francisco, they can eat all the free bananas they want.

When I was getting my degree, I thought a feast was 1/4 round stake, all the brown rice I could eat, fresh tomato and green pepper. Could not have cost much and was nutritious.

Maybe they should get a job? The economy is beginning to recover from the Great Obama Depression, and even a part time gig would put grub on the table
