[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 2701146, member: 7966"] I'm confused! I wasn't aware I was against helping out children getting nourishment especially since those meal programs were in place and utilized by myself when I was in public school and even Ga Tech. I [U]had[/U] to work around the school (in the lunchroom, library, etc.) to pay for my meals but my mother thought that was good for me to learn responsibility. Now mothers protest when their kids are asked to work to repay for their meals at school. As for food stamps, they were not around when I was growing up but there was food distribution to the poor but it was in the form of actual foodstuff. No steaks or prepared foods were distributed. If Food Stamps or WIC were more restrictive, I would be more supportive of them but when you see people paying with WIC for steaks, prepared foods from the Deli, etc., you feel there is something very wrong with the system. I don't eat as well (expensively) as some of these WIC people do although I don't really care. I could eat filet mignons every night or go out to expensive restaurants but that is not the way I was brought up and it shows why these people don't have wealth because they live beyond their means.
