Why is feeding children so controversial?
Because once we start doing socialism for kids, people will start asking for socialism for everyone, and the ultra rich wants to keep that under control.
"Socialism! Marxists!"
Because it's being called "free" when it is not.
You're right. It's better than free. It sets those kids up for a healthier life, making them more well rounded into adulthood. It's a highly returning investment in our future.
But if they deserved to eat, they would've been born into families that could feed them.
"If they're going to die they'd better do it and decrease the surplus population!" Okay, Ebenezer, you go off.
Are you alright man?
How much will the children have to pay each time they get a lunch? Or is it more like a subscription where they pay per month or something?
Not shit Sherlock, taxes would pay for it. Better to have our money feeding fat kids than buying more bombs for the IDF.
Because they're obese
Your weight loss solution is starvation then? That'll kill 'em faster than obesity will.
It'll solve the obesity as well as the financial and logistical issues the article cites
Fuck it, I’ll publicly admit I found this funny
