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…

Feeding children is not controversial, it's complicated. Do you have a solution? And by the way, making energy scarce and expensive is at cross purposes with feeding said children. So, maybe you could prioritize and let us know . ..

Politicians might argue against money for feeding children because ... as you say ... children are not a powerful lobbying group ... they are just children ... and if they give the money to Corporations in the form of subsidies and tax breaks ... they'll get donations in return

What about the 100’s of billions to the Nazi’s in Ukraine. Just another Warmonger Demonrat.

Families not feeding their children despite the services being provided?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Shouldn't we be looking into why the government isn't providing enough assistance to families that they are sending their children to school hungry?
