Re: Post your grocery flyers, F!S! (Or equivalent.)

If food were so cheap and easy to get, we wouldn't have millions of kids eating breakfast and lunch at school, and having to have services that feed kids in the summer and give out sacks of food for the weekends.

That really doesn't follow? Their families are just broke. That's an economic problem, not an access problem. I mean, if their families were able to get them takeout every day instead of getting groceries I'm sure they'd do that, but they can't.

It's both. Parents have small food budgets and buying cheap, processed stuff (like dollar-menu stuff) is not only cheaper than grocery food but a lot more plentiful in a lot of places.

But the whole point of your comment was that the families can't feed them at all and the schools have to step in to keep the kids fed?

The whole thing seems like much more an inequality matter than a matter of what form the food is in. It's not like we don't have enough food to feed everyone. But talking about stuff like raising the minimum wage or expanding the SNAP program is too hard I guess.

No, my point was that if food were cheap(er) and easier to get, a lot of families would *not* have their kids getting free breakfasts and lunches, because they hate 'charity' and would rather feed their kids at home. (And a lot of kids hating being on the 'free' program, they feel humiliated.)

But it's pretty obvious they can't, and kids who get fed gas-station or convenience store food are *hungry*, because its not filling or healthy stuff.

The simple fact that the first thing put on the chopping block, *every time*, is SNAP, is a disgrace, a shame, and makes me furious.
