But there always seems to be enough money for cigarettes, alcohol and drugs.

In an unrelated story, childhood obesity is out of control.

That is not true at all. Schools still give out free lunch during the summer and also Churches , you know those places which could be banned soon give out free food. Anyway what are they doing with all their welfare?

I wanted more kids but stopped at 3 because we could not afford anymore, so why do these people keep banging out kids for others to pay for is beyond me.

They feed them but use stamps to purchase the nicer food for themselves . I know at least a handful of people getting food stamps, kids get free food from the school in the summer and yet they have cash paid jobs.

My wife taught school at the primary level for almost forty years. As is typical, she often spent time in the cafeteria to keep an eye on the little darlings.
She often told the following story; nearly every day the children would leave the table carrying their breakfast/ lunch tray and as they passed the garbage receptacles, they would scrape their entire meal into the garbage.
This was an everyday occurrence.

GtG
PS If you don't have to pay for it it has no value...

"In the summer, when those school meals disappear, children find themselves hungry and with few options," said Duke Storen,Never mind the taxpayer-subsidized welfare parents who squander their welfare checks on smokes, phones and manicures.
Go after those self-sufficient parents who let their kids free range for NEGLECT.
To: Kid Shelleen
Sounds OK to me. So many of these kids are significantly overweight. They could stand consuming less food for the summer. Maybe get out of the house and exercise with their friends instead of staying inside hooked up to their PCs, tablets and smart phones.

Pictures or it isnt happening.
It’s happening and it is real. We have a huge generation of parents that have no interest in feeding their own children. It is sickening.
To: Kid Shelleen
Just because kids aren’t eating school meals in summer does not mean they are all starving or even the “vast majority”

Then maybe their parents should feed them. Or is that my responsibility too?

Silly me, spending my hard earned money on food for my family...
(Actually I give it to my wife to spend, she’s just better at food shopping)
