I was going to post on this, Faira; but you beat me to it. I thought it was ridiculous and cruel. What are we supposed to do, "motivate" these children to beg and steal?! Many food banks in this country already struggle in the summer months because those free school lunches go away....if we eliminate school lunches entirely, much of the "safety net" the food banks and pantries provide would give way entirely.
dito's point was well-taken - she doesn't seem to have missed many meals, so who is she to talk?!
