"Food-shaming" wouldn't work on me. I was all about my kid's nutrition beginning with homemade baby food, but if they were still in school, I swear I'd pack nothing but soda and Twinkies and other crap.
But back to the important topic, if children are going hungry, they need to be fed. States and communities need to make this a priority.
Of course, that begs the question, "if" they are going hungry. The assumption is that they are. Based on what? There is not a chance I would support anything that would cause children to go hungry. They are the innocents, and they must be taken care of. But the line has been crossed.
Where are the parents getting food? Are they starving? Are they emaciated skeletons with barely the energy to get their kids off to school?
Of course there are special cases and those absolutely must be addressed. But we are light years away from that.
