I think Ryan just pulled that out of his ass. I know that if he'd POLLED the kids in the school cafeteria, the ones with the brown bag lunches would tell you they'd rather be rich kids who could BUY their cafeteria lunches, but, failing that, they'd rather be the poor kids who get their cafeteria lunches for free. The kids with brown bag lunches have cheap parents that don't understand schoolkid humiliation and shame.

washingtonpost.com The follow up to that is just fascinating. I actually talk to kids, hungry kids. Kids who ask me for food. I feel sure they don't care where the food comes from- they just want to eat. Kids want love and kids want food- but the two things do not need to come from the same place. I don't love the chef of my favorite restaurant- but I really like eating there. I know the kids I teach who are poor are just like me. When they want to eat they want something good and filling- and they aren't worried about the love that went in to preparing it. They just want food. Republicans- so out of touch they don't understand that.
