Not a bad idea. jUst like using old miltary bases to house the homeless, they have mess halls.

But yet, you still want the people with 3-4 homes, a couple yachts never ending tax breaks that would feed half the planet! Warped, simply warped

I do ? I could care less what the yacht owners and corporate jet owners do.
I don't worry about what other people make and spend my time whining about how to get a piece of it for me.

Makes me wonder. How much does it cost to provide a breakfast to the 1 in 4 children going hungry (or 1 in 3 in Texas)....as opposed to a tax break for a hedge fund manager who just screwed you out of your 401K.....it must be bankrupting us.....milk is SO expensive....

First off..children have WIC, food stamps and 3 meals in schools so tell me how any child could be hungry ?

Second, my 401K is not run by hedge fund managers so I'm not worried.

seriously you wonder how many children can be hungry? 1 in 4 are hungry. many slip through the cracks, children of working poor or working poor single women. not all schools feed children.
