    You’re absolutely not wrong there. You have a heart and empathy. Children SHOULD NOT be punished for the financial situation their parents are in. A free school lunch may be the only real meal a child gets all day and that is horrible for their health and development.

    We have the resources to provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner to every child in the public school system, and I absolutely think we should be doing that. Cut subsidies to boondoggles, increase taxes for the top 20%, purchase food in bulk on government contracts that have been negotiated for lower costs, and give children what they deserve.

    Providing a basic need like food for them is the very least a modern rich society can do.
