What is wrong with having to actually be needy before getting a "free lunch". I have nothing against helping people actually in need, but we need to stop the expectation of handouts for an entire segment of the population and focus on helping those who are in need to improve their lives. Nitt

It is an outrage for Mr. Bush to cut food for poor children while proposing huge tax cuts for his rich friends in government, and his millionaire buddies in Texas. I, too, am appalled that he would cut school lunches for the poor. Shania Twain, who comes from Canada, where such is expected told about her days growing up in poverty. She said she would go to school so hungry and when lunch came, she wished someone would share their food with her. Her stomach hurt from the hunger. Children should Never go hungry. Taking school lunches from these poor children is child abuse.
