    Nice.

    Step 2: Make the meals actually healthy instead of garbage food prepared by the lowest-bid contractor.

      I’m a conservative and I strongly support this. I just want the food to be healthy and not garbage.

      I’d like to see breakfast included as well.

      A healthy diet is important for learning. We need to invest in our next generation

        When I see comments like this I always have to wonder… so, you don’t oppose the government using it’s resources to support the well-being of it’s citizens. So then what is making you conservative? Your desire to oppose other fundamental rights and liberties of others? Wanting corporations to continue to steal from the wealth of the many for the sake of unimaginable wealth for the few? A fear of others who freely exist with other values then your own and the inability to cope with their success? Or thrive in their perils as a way to compensate for the inadequacies you feel in your own life? The desire to maintain the status quo of women and minorities being subservient to old white men? To control other people’s bodies or worrying an unhealthy amount about their genitals and what they do with them?

          What a strange ignorant take on things. Nice strawman. Nothing you said has anything to do with conservatism

            So… what exactly is conservatism to you then? Because what they listed is things most current American conservatives would agree with.

              Yep. I agree. There use to be conservative democrats and liberal republicans.

              Now both parties suck.

              Neither one is really doing anything good for the people. If he had read my posting history, he’d notice I’m pro-choice. Republicans are going taliban with abortion and democrats are doing nothing to protect it at all federal level.

              Both parties suck right now.

                Yeah, but that means what they’re doing isn’t a dealbreaker for you. So you may not agree with them cutting funds from education, cutting taxes on the wealthy and corporations, voting no on providing free school lunch, or taking away abortion rights, but it doesn’t bother you enough to change your vote.

                So why would they change what they’re doing? It’s clearly working for them in a lot of places.

                Edited to add: Democrats don’t have the votes to pass abortion rights at the federal level.

                  I like how you tell me what I am supposed to think and then rattle off a silly argument.

                  I have clearly stated I’m not voting for anyone who isn’t pro-choice. So please; tell me how that didn’t change my vote?

      Its more like:

      All Conservatives: “How can we give away this trash food for free!? Think of the children!? We have to put a high price on it so it’s harder for children to get!!!”

    Don’t our taxes pay for it? Don’t other civilized countries already do this? So how is it framed as “free?” We should already have these policies implemented. Republicans made this country into a joke.

        It’s just how the media paints it. “Look at these freeloaders, it’s free!” No, we paid for it. Which makes it doubly insulting to see Republicans try to take away what we already own.

    Christ that headline is so depressing.

    This can and should be a federal thing. You’d think indebting kids for basic nourishment would be worth threatening to block appropriations for war or something, but it’s not.
