It is more than just a thought. The parents are getting $250 a month, per child tax credit in cash. They could well afford to feed their own kids. But, they are with out a doubt to lazy and fat from the stipends they are getting free.
I could really add to your story with what I experience at the farmers market. Quarts, half gallons and gallons are foreign terms to millennials, god forbid I bring up pecks and bushels. We are doomed.
I stopped at the local supermarket deli counter a couple years ago and asked for four ounces of roast beef. The high school lass said “We sell it by the pound.”
I was stunned. I asked her “What fraction of a pound is four ounces?”
“Duh, I don’t know.”
I then asked “How many ounces in a pound?
“Duh, I don’t know.”
I said “There are sixteen ounces in a pound. I want to buy four ounces. What fraction of a pound am I buying?”
“Duh, I don’t know.”
“For crying out loud, give me a quarter pound of beef.”
“Why didn’t you say so the first time?”
We are definitely doomed.
I gave the young man at a drive through the correct change: 4 one dollar bills, 2 quarters, 2 dimes, 1 nickel and 3 pennies. He spread it out on the counter and stared at it for a full five minutes. I finally told him what it added up to, and he said, “Oh. Ok then.” and gave me the food.
Yikes. These kids are giving rocks an underserved bad rep.
Back when my youngest was in 2nd or 3rd grade, he came home one day and asked me to stop making breakfast for him in the mornings.
I asked him why of course.
He said that most of the kids at school got to eat breakfast at the school in the morning, and if you ate at home they made you go sit on the other side of the lunchroom away from the rest of the kids. This was about 24 years ago.
We were not in an “urban” area either.
Told the wife about this and she said the nursing home is having a hard time getting stuff because the schools are buying everything up from the suppliers.
When I graduated from college with an engineering degree 30 years ago my grandmother said "my neighbor during the depression was an engineer. He sold pencils on the street to try to get by. Don't let that degree go to your head!" I guess she anticipated that Joe Biden might be president some day.
Now they will learn what peanut butter and jam sandwiches taste like. Won’t be getting any of that Michelle Obama weeds and grass.
Excellent point.
Ok, so what in the hell are food stamps for? Maybe the parents who have them can actually buy food to feed their children?
Similar story here, around the same time, in a suburb: I dutifully delivered my child to pre-k with a healthy snack every morning. He would bring it home uneaten. I found out the teacher was giving the “free” food to all the kids, including mine, even though he would never have qualified for the school lunch program. The “free” food was junk.
So, I talked with the teacher, and she said she was giving my child the “free” food because she was giving all the other children the “free” food, and he looked like he felt left out. Plus, it was easier to hand out the same food to the whole class.
A few years later, local news reported that the school was in trouble for overspending on the school lunch program. School officials blamed parents for “not completing the forms” to qualify.
But, of course, I knew the real reason. ;-) What was happening in pre-k must’ve been happening in every grade.
When I was a kid we would pack our own lunch for school.

Why don’t they just stick an IV in the kids with 5% Dex plus added guberment chemicals so they turn out to be good Dem voters?
“Cafeterias in K-12 schools across the country have reportedly faced depleted food supplies and labor shortages because of the coronavirus pandemic, leading some school districts to consider a return to remote learning rather than forcing students to go hungry. An AL.com story on Monday said Alabama’s education department reported every school district in the state is suffering from food and cafeteria workforce shortages.”
So, a shortage of peanut butter sandwiches in Alabama schools can be logically extrapolated to mean that the entire k-12 school system all across the US is on the verge of mass starvation.
Gad, I love some of this crap you find. It’s hilarious.
That’s weird. I brought my own lunch to school.
Don't forget the DingDong. By the end of each school year, I had a two-inch-diameter ball of foil saved up.
Don’t put it past them. They call it the vaccine.
