There are a number of food programs, including charities that recognize some kids starve over the summer when kids are not in school. E.g. the food banks Canada after the bell program.
So take the time to reflect on
1- your right to feed your kids is not impacted, these programs are for kids who have no food, but you can still provide your own meals
2- without these programs some children starve
3- is there any possible argument that supports the outcome where some kids starve.
There is no lie, because schools quite literally do not provide free food where I live.
Everything else you speak of fine, and I have no problem with it, but let me repeat in case you decide to insert something into what I said that I didn’t (again), we do not have food programs in schools.
Food banks and free school meals are not the same. Maybe you don’t have food banks, but it’s what people use here when they need free food. Anyone can use it, even people with jobs. You don’t have to prove your poverty.
Nobody starves in Canada, unless they choose to.
So, everything works fine here, glad you educated yourself on a superior system. It’s one of many we have in a first world country.
I think you need to reread what I said because that was already answered … Where I live, we dont have hungry kids, it’s already taken care of… and it’s more than just one meal a day, and it’s not only children we take care of.
Your focus on kids alone shows how fucked up your system is.
Dont bother replying I won’t ever see it, I’ve had enough with your argumentative, and disingenuous approach.
LOL. The Canadian who gets government funded health care for all is being persnickety about hungry children getting government funded lunch in another country.
Free meal ain’t just for your kids, it’s for everyone ESPECIALLY poor kids. To them it might be the only normal meal of the day. If you don’t want your kids to eat what they serve, maybe you should fight for free meal that can be opt out, instead of dismiss the whole thing. I’m pretty sure whoever wrote the law and the school will be happy to feed one less mouth.
You know that no one is forcing anyone to eat those meals right? Just like no one is forcing everyone to take social welfare… Just because you provide a social service, that doesn’t mean anyone’s autonomy or rights are stripped away. It’s just providing an option for those that may not have any otherwise. Way to just think about yourself…
The school could provide free meals… And ALSO you give your kid lunch from home. Just because the option of free food is there doesn’t mean you have to use it. It’s just better for everyone else who doesn’t have the option not to.
I always fine that free meal part strange. I want to control what my kids eat and not rely on the school.
Thankfully Canada doesn’t have this expectation of free school meals… and everything works fine
Free meals does not mean these meals would be mandatory.
Well thats an easily disprovable
lieerr… lets be generous, error through ignorance.Canada food programs

Read my response again, try both links.
Where you live doesnt represent the whole country and vice versa
Many schools run their own programs, PTAs do as well.

Has background on what exists already in addition to forward looking proposals
I agree that food banks are different than programs, again, read response in full
And finally, nice dodge. Should we (society) feed hungry kids yes/no.

My focus is on far more than kids, youre the one saying they dont need any help.
And I’m posting so others dont fall for your BS. Always have been.

Welcome to the world we live in. I like focusing on something other than the exception to the rule.
And you guys should be rioting for universal health care… because it benefits the majority.
You’ll never truly be a first world country without it.

You’re free to control what your kids eat even if the school provides free meals.
For some kids here it’s the only good meal they eat. No one is mandating people’s kids eat the school food.
