SD,  Just so I understand you and EN, the debate isn't about whether the government (which level?) should be feeding children, but the criteria a child needs to meet to be fed, who is going to pay for it (level again, after all its the government), and the best way to do it?  Do you think it is safe to assume that if the children aren't being fed, then the parents of those children aren't getting enough (if anything) to eat also?  Should we look into other possibilities on how to feed children other than at a school or just stick to schools?
