why cant the kids just pack a fucking lunch?
Because some families can't afford food? Because some families have one over-worked parent at best who doesn't have the time nor the energy to pack little Suzy's (or Kiki's 
) lunch?
All I know is that I had to carry a big giant RED free fucking lunch ticket through the lunch line for many years. It was humiliating, and it ostracized me from the other kids.
I'm an advocate of free nutritious breakfasts and lunches for all public school children. But hey, I'm living in a dream world and believe teachers should be paid what they're worth, and parents can afford to feed their kids.
Yeah i totally agree. I think you read me wrong.
I guess i'm just kind of annoyed by this. Every school I went to was either buy a lunch at the cafeteria (which we didnt even have until high school) or bring one. I'm sure we had some sort of program for children with less money... but i dont think they'd complain about it. this article is complaining about the type of free food people are getting.

No, i'm more making fun of the idea of the cheese sandwich, rather than bitching about free food. And it's not free; as far as I can tell the sandwich is still being charged to the parent's tab, it's just that the kids no longer have a choice in what they eat.
My only real problem with the whole program is that they're choosing to punish the children when the parents do something wrong, otherwise I think it's all kind of funny.
