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

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:
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.
School lunches are crap. My kids wouldn’t eat them. -

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.

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. -

- 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:
