Trump Will Destroy Children's Lives Just For a Political Jab

This was why I posted the no meat Monday link in NY for peacecorps in our conversation and government control . I think Monday is ( or could be) the worst possible day to do that because some kids may have gone the whole weekend without meat or protein . I have it in my mind that it would make more sense to load up on meat / protein on Monday’s to cover that for those kids .
You can get plenty of protein cheaply without meat (pb sandwich being one of the simplest). I do eat meat but would need to see the menu before judging
 
All the more reason for them to load up on calories at school. Pizza, cheeseburgers, fries, cokes, and ice cream.
Pretty sure that's what they've been doing over the past fifty plus years, now there's an epidemic of obesity and diabetes - driving up healthcare costs and clogging up the system.

You're paying for it one way or the other.

From the looks of kids today around here, I don't see many who look that undernourished. When I was in school, there were probably less than 10 fatties in the whole school of 750 students. We ate properly and played outside every day, rain or shine.
 
There are many kids, probably some in your neck of the woods - where a school lunch will be the only meal they eat in a day. It's hard to wrap my head around that, but hunger isn't relegated to the corners of Africa.

Do you believe that those kids parents receive welfare and SNAP? Because almost all of them do, wonder why they dont feed the kids? hmmmm
 
It's simply an example. But I have no issue with helping keep other kids in my child's school from dying. Completely worth it
yes, because all of society should turn on it's head for .00001% of the population
It doesn't "keep them from dying", it's called helicopter parents mixed with schools afraid of lawsuits preventing normal people from living their lives.

When were peanut allergies first discovered? I don't remember ever hearing about them when I was younger. You would think that would have been discovered a long time ago.

I think it's a pretty recent phenomena, I don't recall of hearing about it when my kids were in school. Now, it's almost an epidemic.

That's not what actually happens. I have kids in grade school and have served on our church preschool board for 3 years. None of what you post is correct

I have no idea, and apparently neither do you but in the end so what? Bellyaching about the potential of shtty parents doesn't make the issue disappear.

I doubt if a hungry kid would care if a sandwich were paid for by a christian organization, secular charities or the .gov. In the end, does it matter so long as the kid gets to eat?

I spend my time worrying about the health and well being of the child than playing gotcha with their parents. If more did it I'm convinced this world would change

My only regret is that your turn of the century personal anecdotes aren't more nutritious to the starving youth your privilege has shielded you from.

I hope every hungry child gets fed, that's not the issue, i am pointing out that government doesn't fix what the issue actually is, it only wastes money continuously instead of fixing the problem, much like Social Security, Medicare, Welfare, SNAP, etc. etc. etc.

Should peanut be allowed in schools?: Yes

You expect me to find a Knox County school board meeting agenda from like 8 years ago? Talk to the Knox County Law Director, he will tell you what happened when a lawyer from Florida threatened to sue a local elementary school several years ago
My post was kinda rhetorical. I never truly expected a real link to match your rant
