Parents should
feed children
Responding to a letter by Ms. Bolin in the Aug. 3 11 edition, I agree that parents should feed their own children!
It appears Ms. Bolin never heard of the National Student Lunch Plan of 1946, Special Milk Program of 1955, School Breakfast Program of 1966, and Child and Adult Care Food Program of 1998. Lunch, milk, breakfast and after-school meals, ,all funded by the American taxpayers! These programs are for families in the lower income brackets and in South Texas, not a single child in public school pays a penny for their food.
Having worked in this field for many years, I too wish parents with the means would feed their children! This would save the taxpayers billions of dollars yearly!
