We do, but instead of calling them "pantries", we call them "grocery stores", they are nearly ubiquitous and carry the same plus even more as yer food banks.


Yer whining about a mainly state/local issue, which is a whole different matter.Uh-huh.....that is how it works with SNAP too....yer not making a point....plus I already established that SNAP users are better shoppers.

And you're whining because people don't want to subsidize school lunch during the summer, your point?

And a complete avoidance still of yer previous demands to remove a portion of those in poverty from private/public food redistribution.

Yes, those that abuse the system should be kicked out if the program. Not feeding your kids? Then they need to be taken away.

Agree on all accounts. Government funded food pantries can be open in the summer. If parents are given food and they don't feed their kids, then they need to lose said kids.

why do they need that on top of SNAP and welfare?

They don't need SNAP, it would replace it.

i already stated kids should be fed all summer long. they shouldn't have summers off either, they should continue to be educated.

summers off is dumb

Actually, my involvement in this thread has focused nearly exclusively on SNAP as a means to reduce the food insecurity of the massive increase of children in poverty since 2008, particularly dealing with folks claiming that $50 dollar will feed a 4 person household for a week.

Now I'm dealing with a claim of the superiority of charity....or now publicly funded "charity"....in the realm of food redistribution.

Did you bother to read all my posts? I stated SNAP and summer school lunch programs could be replaced by government funded food pantries. Nobody said kids should eat in the summer.

Food pantries can feed a family of four for $50 a week. No it doesn't include chips, soda, ice cream or pre-packaged garbage.
It does include rice, dried beans, canned vegetables, canned fruit, eggs, chicken thighs, etc.

the 50/week is for one person. so it's 50 per person per week.

So yer previous "large population of folks that have put themselves in poverty", that you still refuse to define, has morphed into "those not feeding their kids".

I grow so tired of yer ever shifting argument searching for those to blame and to starve.

Our education system shouldn't be playing the role of parent. Give the parents the food, they feed the kids. If they don't, the children need to be removed from the home. I know, it requires parents actually be responsible and suffer the consequences of their actions. I'm kind of a lunatic like that.

I don't have a specific number, nor do I care enough to look for one. Responsibility needs to be placed back onto parents. If you can't provide the food, we'll give it to you. It's your job to get the food to your kids. If you don't, then you suffer the consequences.

i think it would be cheaper to feed them, not give the parents any food money for thier kids, and make the kids study for their food. weekends too. if they want food

Who the heck said kids shouldn't be fed during the summer? I just don't think school lunches is the best way to feed them. Seems like you're just trolling again.

school lunches ensure the food goes to the kids and they eat it. just giving it out, the food will go somewhere else.

You know what? You're right, I agree. Nothing but processed meat and fatty dairy all summer long.

nope, fresh fruits and veggies and a school garden which they help maintain.

If they don't fall into yer morality based "those who put themselves into poverty"....that you still won't cant define.

As if that is a new concept.

How profound

What's too easy? Excusing parents for their irresponsible behavior. Why are you so against holding parents accountable. I've stated 5 million times that food should be provided to parents that cannot afford it. Why is it so outrageous to expect the parents to feed their children the food we've just given them?
