The entire kids are starving issue is raised by individuals who are more than willing to supports funding of school lunch programs, so the kids end up with less. More has to be done, a lot more. Not to say government does it all, but i as I have said, society is going to have to stop and think here. Adjusting subsidies would be a start. Figuring out how to get people's taste to change is another. Unhealthy food is cheaper, and apparently shifts to more vegetables and whole grains, is causing an uprising. They throw out fruits and vegetables and complain they are hungry. |
I just listed ways to do that. There are tons of answers to a lot of societies problems... it's just neither side is really willing to consult the sociology on the issue. Instead argueing over whether failed laws like this deserve to stay in place. Repeal of such failed laws and recognition of failure is the first step towards people who supported them saying "well what would work."
Though yes. Right now people are throwing out the healthy food and going hungry. Thats why such a law is a bad thing, no matter how well intentioned it is.
I kinda of find it funny that your argueing this thread in paralel with the 47% thread. Your getting downright Krugman like... to quote you directly
" There is a reality though, that policies and beliefs have consequences, and that can result in people starving."
