Hi Christine,
I have always thought that school lunch programs were one of the few really good ideas. In our district a child can also have a subsidized breakfast. Although we do not have a lot of families who are homeless in our area, we have a great many "working poor." And with house prices rising rapidly, most of these people are unable to buy homes, and are forced to rent at escalating rates. Many of them are a paycheck away from being homeless. Now of course I wish people who could not afford to feed children would not have them. That would be the sensible thing for them to do. They are very misguided in having children they cannot afford to feed. But I do not wish to harm the child for the lack of foresight of the parent. So I think it is very good that any child who qualifies based on the income requirements will get at least two meals a day. It is one of the few uses to which my tax dollars are put that I actually approve.
