You see, here in America we have a thing called Freedom. Rather than have some weird socialistic thing where we actually feed our children when they’re at school, we think it’s better to teach 8 year olds the value of a dollar and let them go hungry because their parents can afford to pay for it.

In Iowa, the governor turned down federal money for school lunches for poor families because, and literally no joking, “does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic.”.

Welcome to American politics.
