Here in England it isd the half term holiday and so the schools will be closed for 5 days.
There was just a report on the local news saying that thousands of children will go hungry next week as their parents can not afford to feed them !!!
This may not be a popular thing to say ....but it is my opinion .....
If you can't afford to feed your children for five days then maybe you should not have them in the first place !!!!

Well, one could say that about half of the people (certainly not all) on welfare in the United States. Especially the people who have six kids by four different people. However, I’m sure some people could afford the children they have at the time they were born. Things can change so fast. Those people I especially feel sorry. And I always always feel sorry for the children since it is no fault of their own.

Exactly.
But these same parents can afford to smoke, can afford to drink, can afford to gamble, can afford to spend vast amounts of money on take away food, and can afford to buy them and their kids the latest gadgets etc.
We all pay for these people's kids to eat.
So the answer to your question is this
We are all paying to feed other people's kids
It pisses me off

I agree completely.
I heard a saying recently that goes ...
Pay for your wants ....and beg for your needs .....
I think that that sums it up ....

In Scotland we buy their bloody school uniforms and we pay for breakfasts
I can't speak fully for them, though.
