What's a more basic responsibility than feeding your kids?

[WestlinnDuck]

School lunches is just not something I’m going to get worked up about. They need to be healthy and they need to be relatively cheap. There’s a societal benefit in not having a bunch of fat kids because fat kids with shitty eating habits turn into fat adults with shitty eating g habits and it’s a strain in our healthcare apparatus.

Chicken, rice, and veggies shouldn’t be that hard

They aren't healthy. And it's another incremental step in indoctrination.

"I'm not going to get worked up about limiting how many rounds of ammo I can buy at one time, it's not like they are banning guns..."

That's how it works. Little steps so people don't get too worked up. Then let the dust settle for a bit, then take the next step.

"Who cares if gays get married, that doesn't hurt you".

It's called progressive for a reason. They literally never stop.

First priority of being a parent is taking care of your kids. In 2022 in America it is easier than anytime in human history. Local car wash is paying $20 an hour for someone to take your money and push a button. A family of four with two working parents at $20 an hour can clear $40k a year income tax free. You won't live like a king, but you can feed your kids on that. What hurts is the massive increase in the price of gasoline, rent, food and utilities. All of which have increased as a result of democrat policies to make life better for working class Americans. Then toss in the labor pressure of importing three plus million legal and illegal immigrants a year. When our media and schools put more social pressure on smoking and mask wearing versus instilling any sense of responsibility for feeding your kids, we are phucked.

I used to get to sell milk for a quarter (it was sold separately for some reason) in third grade a few times a year. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

-French bread pizza
- Chicken fried steak/mashed Potatoes
- Taco salad
- Hamburger/fries

Were really the only things I touched in grade school. HS was closed campus but we left and went to the sub shop or whatever anyway.

My junior year they brought in Taco Bell and I think Quiznos to sell ala cart in an effort to keep kids on campus.

Anyway, we loved school lunch in grade school, but no one was eating that shit in HS. Some parents don’t have time/means to make their kids lunch every day[/i][/b] so school lunch should be reasonably healthy and it should be subsidized. Underserved communities depend on it and I have no interest in trying to make the argument that clipping it from the budget makes any sort of sense.

I’d rather get rid of the army of administrators that suck blood from the education budget like a school of lampreys or the 30% or so of teachers who are utterly useless and are only in education because they’d be a failure in any other sector than anything else.

At the end of the day we need to be doing what we can to make it health(ier) and make it available. One of the few things I really supported out of the Obama admin. The execution sucked but the philosophy was sound.

Absolute 100% bullshit. If they are too poor for food they can get food stamps or whatever non stigmatizing thing it’s called now. If they don’t have “time”, get up 15 minutes earlier or make the night before. Do just the bare minimum of planning and there is time. JFC. My wife and I were as busy as anyone on the plant when our kids were in school. For a few years I travelled extensively. If it’s a priority there is time. And what could be more of a priority than feeding the kids you brought into the world?

Like the “poor teacher “ myth the “parents and afford it and don’t have time” just gets said over and over until people just nod their heads and move on as if it’s fact. And schools never have enough money. It’s always “we can’t do x because we don’t have the funds”. Guess what there always seems to be money for? Stuff that advances government control and obedience to the government. The entire covid “safety” measures at schools were just more of it. Question it and you’re a domestic terrorist. Schools have plenty of money for diversity and equity programs. Question it and you’re a racist domestic terrorist.

But hey, it’s just school lunch…

There's actually this chef that has a nonprofit that works with schools for like tasty cheap ass lunches it's pretty cool. I forgot what YouTube channel I saw him on

Oh here we go it's this dude.

I don't know where it is he talks about his thing. But I'm all in favor

There's a house in the neighborhood and I can tell it's probably Section 8. It stands out because it's a normal, middle class neighborhood. I kept seeing this Caddy SUV that probably costs over $75k new drive around this morning. In fact, the idiot didn't stop at a stop sign like tons of other idiots and came up on me as I was turning left out of the driveway. I'm sure the people who live there probably get tons of free government shit and this person probably does something illegal for a living, or games the system, but we're supposed to feel sorry for all of them because of white privilege, oppression, colonization, or whatever the hell the latest buzzword is. I'm not real conservative as has been established for ten years on here, but I am tired of people who game the system.

Well, according to the rill smart ones around here, you're a trumptard. And obviously a racist and fascist. Probably also have a lego set of the capitol in your garage along with a gun safe full of ammo and AR-15s. Just what I'm hearing.

They did this at our school district last year. Shit food. I packed them lunches 95% of the time

School lunches were trash when I was there. It’s hard to envision them being much better now. But a lump in the gut is better than nothing.

I don’t hate the school lunch thing.

I do. Not because I hate kids getting food. I hate the message it sends to kids and parents. They state will take care of your simplest and most basic needs. Parents no longer need to even put in an effort to provide. A dangerous message that has consequences that we see now and will in the future.

Seriously, how hard is it to get your kids some food before they head out. They don't need a full blown giant country breakfast. Boil some eggs on Sunday night and they can have them all week. Even now eggs can be bought for 25 cents each. Add it some oatmeal and you have something that takes almost no time and costs less than $1.

And the food they feed the kids is garbage.

This just allows kids and parents to be lazier and fatter and good training for when the government tells them what to do.

Arguments in favor usually succumb to the "won't someone think of the children" logical fallacy. An appeal to emotion.

I remember when being on free/reduced lunch was a stigma that parents wanted to avoid and get out of if they got into that position. It was temporary and transitional for most.

The price of food has went up 30% at the stores as a whole in the last year. Despite the bullshit inflation numbers.

Certain items like bread and some select produce have been immune from this type of drastic price increase. But most items have not.

Couple this with gas and power to your home, and you have many in the lower middle class struggling. The ones that don’t get food stamps because they work for a living and see their rent go up every year as well.

I can live with giving them some help when needed. Much better than throwing half of a trillion overseas every year for mostly nothing.

Been called all that and much more on social media

Free lunch for all started way before current inflation. And it's not just poor who are getting it. It's ever student. Read the post.

People can afford food for their kids if they prioritize it. Instead the government provides the lunches and I guarantee you you'll find the parent buying weed, smokes, alcohol and tattoos. Also the top of the line cable/satellite package.

Get the kid knowing the government takes care of them, not the parents. It takes a village,etc. it's easier to control them later when they are trained early. Also make sure the brown kids are oppressed victims and the government will even the playing field for them and ensure outcomes without them putting in any effort.

Are you saying giving kids free lunch means we won't be sending billions overseas?

Then why did you make the comment?

Interesting. I didn't have you pegged as an emotional thinker. I was wrong I guess.
