    How is anyone anti feeding children??? I mean idk how politicians aren’t competing with each other to have the best lunch programs as their “legacy” or whatever. It’s so hard to pick out a single shittiest thing these days, but taking food off children’s plates is up there. Fucking embarrassing…

    Edit: and I am 100%cool with paying taxes to feed someone else’s kid.
