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

Spokane Public Schools are providing free lunch to every kid in the district next year.
Coming soon to WA school district near you.
They aren't learning jack shit for the taxpayer money. I guess feeding them is a bit of an ROI on our property taxes and levys
Marcus Ricelli is a special kind of evil. Always the front guy on the save-the-world/decriminalize crime shit.

School lunches are a human right.

If the kids agree to puberty blockers, they'll even throw in dessert.

I don’t hate the school lunch thing.

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

Most parents have no idea how to feed their kids which is why millenials (except me) all of Gen Z are chubby cucks. The next gen will either be worse or rebel against being a pathetic loser because kids always choose the opposite of what their parents think is cool.

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.Kaepsknee said:I don’t hate the school lunch thing.
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. -

"Young Americans are increasingly too overweight or undereducated to join the U.S. military, according to a growing number of both retired and active-duty military leaders."

It used to be based on income. If you were poor, it was free. Lower middle class got reduced prices. I'm pretty sure rich, SJW San Fransicko families who make like $350,000 a year and send their kids to the specialized pub(l)ic schools don't need this.

Out of feeling poor comes the next generation of go-getters.

Bellevue School District is not doing free school lunch.

Well intentioned or a plan to diminish the importance of parents? They’re already doing it in the classroom. We hear it being said by teachers themselves.MikeDamone said:

School lunches are crap. My kids wouldn’t eat them. -
Just for the football players they recruit.thechatch said:Bellevue School District is not doing free school lunch.
Oh wait...that's free APARTMENTS, not food.

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 -
You guys and your 'school lunch is shitty' takes.
Just once would love to go back and have fishsticks on Friday and mashed potatoes and gravy circa 70s style.
The pizza was hit and miss.
But the Throbber fucking loved hot lunch for the most part. The little ice cream cups with half vanilla and have orange. The scoop full of sugary peaches and cherries and pineapples. Goddamned delicious.

"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. -
At the heart of this is the attempt to eliminate meat from kids' lives and dumb down this generation to make them easier to control as they become adults. There are studies out there conclusively showing when kids (even infants) are fed a carnivore diet, their physical development is faster, their brains develop faster and become bigger, and IQs are higher than compared to kids eating the standard American diet.
The powers that be know this and are trying to retard America's future by snuffing out the potential of our future generations. -
-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 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. -
Also of note, where is California going to get the money to pay for this monstrosity?

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.MikeDamone said:

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.

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?thechatch said:-French bread pizza

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 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.Fire_Marshall_Bill said: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.

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. -

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.Kaepsknee said:

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? -
