All irrespective of the fact that parents who are receiving SNAP benefits for children who are also receiving free meals at/from school are double-dipping.
Valid questions that you can't answer. I guess you aren't as "informed" as you think you are.
Yes, she's the poster girl for every woman who gets food stamps because she's so typical of the type of women who get food stamps.
Octomom and 'Who's going to pay for my 15 kids Mom' are extreme examples. However, it SHOULD be noted that women who receive public assistance have a birth rate 3 times higher than those who don't. That means that for every one child born that is supported by its parents, three are born that have to be supported by means-tested social welfare programs.
Consequently, we have a problem with an unsustainable exponentially increasing welfare-dependent population. I've already shown the math on how devastating the results will be, here: http://www.city-data.com/forum/34233827-post268.html
Possibly, but that wasn't my or my children's or any of their schoolmates' experience.
And what about those involved in after school activities that weren't sports? Who fed those kids?
If they were fed at all, probably by the specific activity's booster club.

That is lying with statistics. Women on public assistance are three times more likely to have given birth in the last year, which is understandable b/c there is a time limit on PA. Your math uh, siphons.
If ever there was a clear and unquestionable indication that the United States of America is on the downhill slide, it would be that of a government agency providing free supper for children at their local schools.
Jobs? Not enough.
Welfare? Not enough.
Food stamps? Not enough.
Deny it all you want.....this great country is dying a slow death by a trillion paper cuts.
That's the result of growing income inequality that conservatives don't want to change. So they don't want to redress inequality and at the same time 8itch that the poor are getting too many government programs.
If they were fed at all, probably by the specific activity's booster club.
Or they weren't fed by a school organization at all. And they survived. How was that possible?

No, it isn't. It is a FACTUAL statement that for every one child that is born to parents who support it without government assistance, three children are born to parents who receive public assistance.

No it's not. It's the result of the USG raising the eligibility limits on who get free/reduced "stuff".
Anywhere from 133% to 400% of FPL.
A family of 3 with a household income of $45K/year qualifies for reduced lunch ($.40).
It's not just the poor anymore that are qualifying for government social welfare programs.
