[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"So is everyone that doesn't want to pack or pay for lunch lazy and cheap? Or just the ones who admit they don't want to pack or pay?"

I am also lazy and I am cheap. These are not issues when they only impact you and your family. But you are talking about being also a cheat. The program is for those that meet the income limit. Everyone else in the country pays for those lunches - even if they too are lazy and cheap - so that poor kids do not go hungry. For you to use this program when you do not qualify is wrong and undermines support for the program since people see how it can be abused. Is us not wrong for those who qualify to use it. [/quote]

Show me where I said I'd lie on the form to get qualified. I said I'd considered filling it out (honestly. Look at my OP. I said I'd be honest on the form), and see if they'd give it to me. I'm simply curious if it would happen since I know there is lots of waste and fraud in these programs. [/quote]

Even if they did give it to you, why would you take it, knowing that you don't really qualify?  If you are really angry at the government waste, why don't you try to stop it, rather than take advantage of it?

[b]Maybe the best thing to do would be to fill it out, and if you get approved, take it to the front office and ask why you were approved when you clearly don't qualify.  Maybe that will make the school office (or whoever it is that approves the forms) tighten the reigns better[/b].[/quote]

I wouldn't be opposed to doing this.

I'm the OP, forgot to say.[/quote]
