Yeah... that was my point. There isn't enough work out there, so Work for Welfare is flawed.

Just like how these policies DON'T WORK. Therefore they shouldn't exist.

You can complain all you want about children's health, but when the solution does more damage to kids help then good... what are you arguing here?


Assuming that people shut up about this law... all that ends up happening is... kids don't eat... and they wait till they get home to gorge on junk.

Which means you haven't made kids diets any healthier.... haven't reduced their calorie intake because they binge when they get home... and hurt kids health because they don't eat lunch and don't have a more even calorie intake.  End result to your "eat healthy" initative?   Kids eat worse then they did previously.


It's not "Healthy food vs Unhealthy food" it's "Kids not eating then binging on junk food vs kids eating junk food."

Whether kids or not should eat whole grains and fruits is not the issue, because in either case they aren't.  "To hell with everything kids need to eat healthier", sorta falls flat when kids aren't doing so.

Parent's aren't choosing their schools food choices because they're uninvolved parents? Sounds like the real question should be "how do we get parents more involved in their kid's lives.
