[Old School]

I understand your point about the kids, but if the parents are junkies, what do the kids have anyhow? How often have you seen that kids of junkies turn into junkies themselves. Maybe it's the only way to save the kids period. If child services sees that kids are not eating, then they take them out of that environment. I say that's better for the kids than giving them a future the same as their parents!

Good Point SD. Sad to say, but I think this happens more than we realize.

:Thumbs: It would be a lot cheaper to feed children a little more in school cafeterias than to finance their parents' drug habits with welfare checks.

I agree Hoot, but in many school districts, careterias have changed greatly over the past several years, now they are restricted in the amount of food given to the children. Due to the child obesity problems, schools do not give out seconds to the kids. I think it's just another way to waste tax payer monies and a shame that schools are throwing out perfectly good food instead of giving it to children who really need it.
