@inthehands The strangest thing about this is how universally good it is. The benefits for the children (food security) and for the parents (reduced childcare costs & bureaucratic time waste) are obvious, but others benefit too: The administrators have to deal with way less paperwork (they're responsible for verifying status under NSLP), allowing them to focus more on education. And even the businesses who act as food vendors who supply the meals make more money when the government is footing the bill and driving demand.

Literally the only people who could disagree with such a policy are the folks who have so bought into the "welfare queen" scam that they'd shoot themselves in the foot to perpetuate it. (And maybe non-parents whose tax dollars now go to subsidize parents, but you'd have to be a pretty big asshole to get pissed off about your money feeding hungry kids).
