[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While we have barely any money for school lunches, we somehow have trillions to invade other countries! And donate, and "aid" the world.

"The National School Lunch Program provides low-cost or free school lunches to 31 million students at more than 100,000 public and private schools per day. Meals must meet nutritional standards based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Participating schools receive approximately $1.30 to spend for each child. This amount must cover the food, as well as any labor, equipment, electricity, and other costs. School food programs also depend on income from students who often pay for the food they eat.

Tight budgets make serving healthier foods challenging."[/quote]

And many of the parents that can’t send their kids to school with lunch can afford iPhones, dogs, and other things less important than their children’s food[/quote]
I have an iphone. I cannot afford good food for mysef 5 days a week, much less for my kid who might through it in garbage. I asked him to bring the apple home they get at school since apples are about $1 piece and he said that he is not allowed and has to throw it out. System is messed up. How dare you blame it on few items you deem "luxury". Iphone is not a luxury nowadays. It's a necessity. You lose more money not having internet and apps that help you save money on your fingertips. This is not 1980's.
Again, Iphone pays for itself if you use it well. A dog might be cheaper than ADT. You don't know that.
Point is that good food is expensive in American and kids don't even eat it because parents could never get them hooked on it. Yet another way American separates haves and have nots. I poorer countries, have nots have land and grow good food. American farmer can feed the whole world. We never thought that the food they produce can be turned into junk and fed to us.
