If we did that the kids would probably starve. Anyone who is against feeding innocent kids is gross. [/quote]

Weird how the highest rates of obesity are among those living in poverty, right? The ones getting "food assistance" through WIC, FARMs, and those EBT cards are the ones also suffering from childhood obesity. Also, if the parent is getting food stamps, shouldn't she be expected to use that money to pay for food to pack her children a lunch to bring to school? Wonder what would happen if they did away with free lunches and told parents to put lunch money in their kids accounts using the EBT cards. I bet they'd quickly learn that packing a lunch is cheaper than "buying". FCPS is increasing the cost of school lunch next year due to "rising food, labor, and BENEFIT costs." So now those that have to pay for their children if they want to buy will have to pay $.25 more each day. Is that fair?

I worked at a school cafeteria and the FARMs kids ALWAYS had money to purchase snacks in addition to the free meal that went straight into the trash. Ice cream, cookies and chips everyday.  Priorities, people.[/quote]
