The biggest misconception about FREE LUNCH is that liberals think low-income families can't pack their own lunch. This is FALSE.
Many low-income kids are not starving. Hardly at all. Unless, of course, they have crack-addict parents or parents who commit fraud by trading EBT points for cash and the money is not being spent properly. EBT covers the monthly food expenses of a household, which includes giving a child a lunch. I have never witnessed blacks or Hispanics with an empty cart on the first of every month.
If a parent still can't or should I say "won't" feed her child lunch, then I suggest that for every school-aged child in a household receiving food stamp, the state should deduct funds and apply towards school lunch. This way at least the kid really gets to eat. It also ensures that the child is attending school. If a child has too many absent marks then there should be further deductions.
Of course, there should be a cap on # of children. Each household is limited to 2 children. Those who choose to have children beyond that are on their own.
