I am aware of where it all started and where it is today. Provision 1,2,3 was added in 1980. But the point I was making is that those that receive foodstamps are receiving payment for food to provide three meals per day to each kid at home. That's 21 meals per week. But the schools are also providing 10 of those meals per week, just about half. Yet, that is not counted as income or credited against the amount of food stamps received. So basically these families are double dipping. They get half of their kids food needs met and still receive the food stamps as though they were providing 100% of their meals. And to add insult to injury, every kid at all the school gets those 10 free meals each week, no matter how wealthy their family may be. Yes, our schools are nothing by socialist establishments all on the tax dollar.

This is going on throughout the country and costing BILLIONS!!!!!
