On-topic, here’s an explanation for my zotted comment re “nutrition”.
https://foodrevolution.org/blog/school-lunch-in-america/
The source references MULTIPLE studies which outline the absolutely HORRIBLE state of quality of school-provided food, now being promoted by the left because parents are apparently unable to feed their children properly.
It would be LOL if it wasn’t so serious, as grammar school food habits both build defective immune systems and frame a lifetime of eating habits...until a person reaches such a point of health as to have a reason to change.
Insofar as the “mental health” derisive comment I made in my now-zotted comment, consider this glaring omission from the CDC:
You place children in a government school setting with mandated separation, sanitization and face covering rules and see what happens to the mental health of children.
If the propaganda wasn’t bad enough leading into the prior, pre-pandemic year, now many states are outlining truly draconian conditions for a learning environment which is assured to lead NOT to improved mental health, but children under an oppressive culture which results in stress, anxiety and all of the societal problems which will result from such a paradigm.
The point of my zotted comment is that CDC - like ALL of their other proclamations/recommendations on this epidemic - are squarely in left field and demonstrable of bias of epic proportions.
Will this generation of children - the ‘pandemic generation’ - be the next leaders, or “followers”?
I believe that the answer is all-too-obvious, as are the motivations of bureaucrats and public officials.
The Left even goes to great lengths to exaggerate the amount of hunger in this country, and I have concluded that they wish to use child hunger as a tool and lever to advance their footprint in the lives of everyday Americans. There is no doubt they want to destroy the family unit as they view it as evil and dysfunctional, where they think the government with all of its expertise can do a better job than stupid, uneducated parents.
After all, it will al be "for the children" and who can be against that?
In communities near me, during this COVID crisis, they are using school buses-huge, gas guzzling school buses!-to deliver food to individual students who are not in school, and I believe they have opened the preparation and delivery to adults as well, though I cannot confirm this yet. Here is a release from the City on the subject:
Anyone under age 18 in XXXXXXXXXX can grab a meal from drop off locations, even students who don't attend public schools. Meals are delivered Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in the morning and at lunchtime
I have it on authority from someone who lives in that city that they are doing door to door drop-offs, not just to "drop off locations". And this is not a poor city.
