Feeding Hungry American Kids Has Doubled since 1990
The Institute For The Study of Homelessness and Poverty has posted a recent study on the School Breakfast program. You know, the program that feeds American children who would typically go to school hungry without this free hot breakfast served in the school cafeteria.
It’s a great program to ensure that our children have enough nutrition in their stomachs so that they can study hard and gain an education that will take them beyond poverty. Here's the study in a PDF file.
The study shows that the number of hungry children in this program has doubled since the 1989-1990 school year. There were 855,102 California kids that used this program last school year.
It’s clear that if these children are not fed and helped with an education, they could very well become the next generation of homeless.
The big question is… why has the number of hungry kids in our country doubled?

Most of the homeless that I see every day are white men who wear dirty clothes and smoke. I assume they smoke to try to normalize their brain chemistry. There will always be people like this. All the education in the world won't help them. Occasionally I see homeless women and homeless black people.
We concentrate the attention of the kids so we don't look at the parents.
Why has the number of children that are homeless and hungry doubled? No fault of their own, but it is a fault of their parents.
If you can't afford to feed your kids, you shouldn't have kids. If you don't have a home for children, you shouldn't have children. I waited until I was 30 to have kids. By then we had a house and a financial plan. It is expensive to have children, in part because I have to pay for mine and all of theirs.
Stop the babys that are having babys and you will stop the cycle of children in poverty.
Next liberal question please?
I have rarely seen homeless children. The last time that I saw homeless children was about seven or eight years ago.
Poor girls become unwed mothers because the government enables them. The girls get free medical care, housing, food and education for their children. The government takes the place of a husband.
