Amen.
Some posters on here pretend that if children don’t get free lunches, all of a sudden, the politicians will stop taking their money and using it for something else.

My son gets free lunch…I pay for it.

My kid already eats for free. I’ve never once seen her pick up a tab.

I’d rather see that than fund shithole Ukraine. It’s still a horrible idea though. You’re just training kids to rely on government.

Yes. Mom needs that extra money for drugs.

That’s quite an elitist attitude to look down on people who live in apartments
I've lived in apartments before; however, I chose not to have children until I was married and owned a home. Feeding other people's kids isn't my responsibility.
Any time someone uses the word "free", replace that word with the phrase "at someone else's expense", because that's all it is.

the lack of compassion shown by many conservatives in this thread.
I am quite compassionate for the children - that is why I want them taken away from abusive parent/custodian. This is what I consider abusive :
- chooses drugs, green-hair dye, face piercings, tattoos, etc. instead of feeding the child
- lets child roam free without regard to how much "trouble" he causes
- continually refuses to take any corrective action for known repetitively aberrant behavior
I am extremely tolerant of parents undergoing temporary hardships as long as they are instilling acceptable manners into their children.
I am quite tolerant of parents who are just physically (or mentally) unable to qualify for a job that would allow them to feed their children properly
I am grudgingly tolerant of parents who just don't give a shite how their kids turn out, but manage to raise the kid in such a way that the kid doesn't participate in thuggery under their care.
I have zero tolerance for parents who use their children as just another 'benefit' for higher welfare payments, and/or squander all their financial income and leisure time without regard for their childrens' upbringing to the extent that their children become thugs and future drains on society.

What If I invite you over to my house for a free meal?

You've convinced me.
Don't feed prisoners

We almost have to. These kids have such a terrible home life and are essentially a ward of the state

Stop the welfare. Prisoners should be picking up trash and earning their keep. Only poverty kids should get a free lunch - but we need to have a discussion on what is poverty. If the mom is already getting SNAP/EBT then they can bag a lunch.
“Well what if the momma doesn’t bag the lunch?”
No problem. The mom loses her welfare ticket to the state and her benefits.
It’s that fricking simple.

I'd rather prisoners work for their own food.
Also sterilize parents who cannot feed their own kids.

And some posters seem to think that this is all we care about. As if we were perfectly content with all the other ills being fomented by the people who are elected by these kinds of prior 'kids' who are now old enough to vote.
We dont bother to make a list of all the OTHER crap we are "concerned about" when we make a comment about some seemingly minor attribute that comes from not attending to all the OTHER crap we are concerned about.
It already takes too many words as it is to ward off all possible snipes for every word uttered on here.
I'd wager that you have made posts yourself that would not undergo equally valid commentary on numerous 'what about this' item.
You'd be better served to find posts that are INCONSISTENT with prior posts to comment upon. At least that would be beneficial to the rest of us.

What if their concern is that it's just another thing to make people dependent on the government for?
There's significant societal impact to all of these welfare programs.
Food stamps exist, I guarantee you the parents are eating. If they can't manage to wake up and feed their children, then pack their lunch, there needs to be consequences for the parents.

Agree/disagree?
Disagree. Prisoners our locked away for their punishment/"rehabilitation" and more so for the protection of society. They have no means to feed themselves. Obviously, we could kill them all and not have to worry about it but capital punishment for all offenses might be a little extreme.
Kids have families to support them, their families should provide for them. I don't have kids, I should not have to take on the burden to feed somebody else's kids.

We put a man on the moon decades ago, I think we can find a way to keep prisoners separate from the rest of the population and find some use for all the free time they have.

This is one of the few areas that I have no problem with Government funding school lunches. I know I'll get down voted but I'll say my peace and move one.
First I'll say that I would only fund through maybe 6th grade or so. After that a kid can prepare his/her own food.
By law, children have to attend School of some type. With that being said, I see nothing wrong with that school having to feed the child.
Some of these kids are so bad off that school is the only place they can get some food in their bellies.
Bottom line is if we can give billions of dollar to fund proxy wars, fund warlords, Keep the UN afloat to list just a few things the US spends on non citizens I don't think giving a kid a damn sandwich and a glass milk/juice/water is asking too much of it's country.
If we are going to be a pro-life party then we need to be partners in helping these kids out just a little and I think food is ok.

Why do you feel you need to tell me not to harm children while considering what sorts of repercussions parents who don't feed their children, despite having the resources to do so, should face?
I'm not advocating for killing the entire family because of what the parents did like your God did.
