Who in the school knows which students are on the free lunch program?

I think everyone should be entitled to food.

Children shouldn't be punished because their parents made wrong decisions. Yes, there are tons of people who shouldn't have children. However, no child in America should ever go hungry. It's inhumane to not feed hungry children.

I think everyone should be entitled to food.

Also, medical care. Like with Medicare. (Speaking of an entitled generation.)

It's the children's fault, for picking the wrong parents.

I did.Didn't know about the stigma, and now that I know, I don't care.
He has asked to have his lunch packed from home, but I thought it's because he didn't always like the food.Don't think he knows about the stigma at 7, but I'll ask once he gets home.

When I was a child I qualified because my mother was in school full time so she could get a job to support her family. Please don't let your hostility rub off on your children so my kids have to deal ignorance.

Medicare is a benefit that you pay for the entire time you are working so it's there when you aren't working. Why shouldn't a person get what they pay for?

Do you think that your Medicare payments go into a little bank account with your name on it? They don't. Your Medicare payments are going to the people who are currently getting Medicare. Your children's payments will go to you. And your Medicare benefits have zero to do with you much you paid in Medicare.

Medicare is an entitlement. That is a fact.

No, I don't think that Medicare payments go into a bank account with my name on it. However, if the government had structured it properly in the first place maybe it should. It is not the fault of the current Medicare recipients that the program is structure pay as you go. How would you feel if you paid into a system your entire professional life and there wasn't a benefit available? Ok, call it an entitlement, but it's an earned entitlement.

We are not talking about ending Medicare. We are talking about entitled generations. Right now, people who receive Social Security and Medicare are the most entitled generation; they receive the most entitlements, by far.

Now, I don't have a problem with that. But then I don't have a problem with making sure that kids don't go hungry, either.

Nice thought except the lunches on the federal school lunch program are very unhealthy. poor quality meats, processed foods, tons of sugar. they need a complete overhaul before i would let my child eat that if i had an option. it's really sad that those that need healthy food the most (because they may not get it at home) are served such sub standard meals.

Just as with medicare, the people receiving social security also paid in - so how again is that "entitlement" when you've paid for it?
