Sesame Street Muppet Pitches Government Dependence: Free Food at School. Yeah, we know. We’re not supposed to call them “hand outs”. We’re supposed to call them “hand ups”. But let’s be very clear. We all know exactly we’re these hand up’s are going. And it is always rather near the place where our money used to be.

Next Burt and Ernie will be doing commercials for a medical marijuana business, or perhaps a whorehouse in Nevada as a favor to Harry Reed....
Have you ever seen the food thrown away after the ingrates are called back to class unable to eat their meal as they were too busy on their government issued cell phones for the "POOR" to eat. It's huge. Obesity is touted to be a huge problem especially among the "POOR", if this is so why are these programs forced on us. What does all the welfare, food stamps and various other programs pay for?? Dumb ass don't it just make you all warm and fuzzy programs.
Obesity may be a sign of over eating, but it is generally also a sign of mal nutrition. Some one who gets even a little exercise, and eats large quantities of veggies, fruits, WHOLE grains and protein, are not generally overweight. It is the highlu processed junk food that and simple carbs (which cause an addictive like response-they run up blood sugar, the body releases tons of insulin to cover, then they are looking for more simple carbs to cover the remaining circulating insulin-repeat ad lib.) That is why food stamps, school lunch programs, etc absolutely should be serving healthy meals, not more crap.
Have you ever seen the food the government supplies for its "free breakfast and lunch" program? Pizza, with a bout a tablespoon or so of tomato sauce is considered a vegetable, as are pickles (they ARE made from cucumbers after all.) Protein includes chicken "nuggets" made from left over chicken scraps unusable anywhere else. Fries are king. We may be feeding them, but they are hardly getting heal;thy foods!
