    Earlier this week Bernie Sanders called for an end to “school lunch debt”. The senator, and one of the Democrat candidates for president, tweeted that it “should not exist in the wealthiest country in the history of the world” and pledged to “provide year-round, free universal school meals” if he won the White House.

    LOL, imagine thinking Democrats would nominate someone standing on a “let’s feed poor people’s kids” platform. Was never going to happen.

      I got kicked off free lunch when my mom married a rich guy. I didn’t eat lunch, or breakfast from 6-11th grade. I’d start to feel sick during the last couple hours of class.

      It’s not something any child should experience. It was not something I had power over, other than digging quarters out machines to get like a Vitamin Water or something.
