Only in America do we freely without question give billions away for no reason at all to companies already making billions in profit, but somehow find it a controversial subject whether or not we should feed hungry children.
When schools offer universal free meals, hungry kids eat. They also have better academic performance, behavior, attendance, and psychosocial functioning. These benefits should be available to all — with no questions asked, and no such thing as lunch debt. jacobin.com/2023/03/universa…

Obesity is a larger problem in America than hunger.

You misspelled "Ukraine"

I think you are over simplifying. I don't think there is a controversy about feeding kids, maybe I am wrong. The issue is what they are being fed and how they are being fed. Ketchup is not a vegetable, but schools say it is to meet requirements. The list continues

When wealth redistribution is an option & politicians have the power to pick winners & losers, & you're in favor of it, you have no leg to stand on complaining when they favor groups you don't like. Do you know who never gives money to the rich? Charity?

"We" don't do this. Republicans are the ones who don't want to feed hungry children.

Corporate America pretty much runs our government. I believe there are still shills on Capitol Hill arguing smoking doesn’t cause cancer. Corporate Executives truly have no soul.

Marianne, you can feed all the hungry children you want. Just don’t steal money from others to do it. We’ve thrown money at this problem for decades - it’s not a matter of just more money. The government isn’t a good steward of that money.
