    i smell double bind. say nothing and the food is taken away, with parents being forced to spit up more money for food. say something and rich people will be sad, which means no money added to pay for food, which will be used to justify taking away the food anyway.

    what’s your solution then? you may not need the government to pay for your kids’ food, but there are people who still needs it. you gotta feed people somehow and be careful not to fall into ableist policy (e.g only people who quote unquote, “works hard”, gets the food).

        pretty sure the labor of validating all the applications, surveyling who does and does not get the food, and pushing for the othering of people who have applications as well as those who doesn’t but still get the food, is gonna cost more than the actual food, being mostly transportation, cooking and cleaning.
