Nothing like good chicken soup. Of course you have to buy a chicken. These women DO need a short course on how to shop and how to feed a family. Their carts a full of ready to eat food. They have never cut up a chicken or learned how to make hamburger go a long way. And yes indeed, they get food stamps and WIC. Many schools offer free shoes, glasses, pencils, paper etc. Plus they get free breakfast and free lunch. I am really getting tired of the whining. Many of us older people are living on less than $900.00 a month and doing quite well thank you.

Perhaps it’s time to bring back required home economics courses in the schools. They can replace all those “health” classes. Actually a year of home ec equates to health for the kids’ future families (I can’t believe I’m advocating home ec - I hated it when I was required to take it!)
