Why is feeding children so controversial?
Because it's being called "free" when it is not.
You're right. It's better than free. It sets those kids up for a healthier life, making them more well rounded into adulthood. It's a highly returning investment in our future.
But if they deserved to eat, they would've been born into families that could feed them.
"If they're going to die they'd better do it and decrease the surplus population!" Okay, Ebenezer, you go off.
Are you alright man?
