You can yap all you want about it, but your words carry little value as you haven't lived it and really don't know what you are talking about.  And yes, that applies to all aspects of life.  I can complain all I want about the Broncos, but to John Elway, they mean very little.  See how that works?   Personally, I am happy with all the districts who have shut down internal lunch programs and have outsourced them to entities who operate in a for profit model.  That way, my tax dollars aren't going to subsidize a basic requirement of parenthood.  For those who are truly on welfare and need assistance, then we should provide that.  To those who are just lazy or looking for a free handout, they can pound sand.  A pretty nice home packed meal costs about $1.50, less if putting in left overs.
