I ate a snickers. I wanted to clarify why it ticked me off so bad.

The people I am speaking of are not the families that are in a food desert or actually living at or below the poverty level. These are 20 something subdivision dwellers, Instagram queens from mostly upper-middle to middle-class families in a small town who simply chose to be underemployed, live above their means, live together unmarried (so report half of their income for benefits) or live on credit so they can be SAHM's.

These are not the kids who truly NEED these services. Our schools have everyone fill out free lunch applications for funding purposes. They turn a blind eye on this because it helps their bottom line, these parents won't even buy school supplies for their own because "free education is a basic right" and "they just pass them out the other kids anyway".

The kids who really need help live a couple of towns over and very few, if anyone, seems to be driving over there except the school buses.
