Millions of kids live in low-income families and their parents cannot afford to dish out 1-2$ every day for meals, just because some kids decide they want to throw away their food doesn't mean that people who absolutely need it shouldn't be able to get it.

From what I've read, families in critical situations like the one you described will still get meals. From what I've seen in school, the system has been too liberal with who qualifies for free lunch. A lot of kids who have no financial problems still get free lunch and end up wasting it.

Despite promising to do wonders for americans and americans first, the administration loves the idea of making necessities harder for american families. This includes clean water, education, and now free lunches

i'm all for some program that will make sure kids stop wasting food. however, i'm not for reducing the free lunch scope to only children below the poverty line. There are still families who earn around 70-80k a year and 3$ lunches are considered a luxury, especially after the cost of living, electricity, clothes and other necessities

It's not the slogan handicap I'm wondering why he keeps saying it even though this has nothing to do with Annoying Orange for all we know this thing'll get shot down in the Republican controlled congress

It's just like - the trend here just seems to be "make everything stufftier and cut government expenditures" rather than actually make anything better. I guess 'great' is inherently subjective. Maybe people enjoy living in an Ayn Rand dystopia where there exists no assistance nor safety nets to help you if your life suddenly gets forgeted up.
