		<description>CONTEMPLATING:
“closed minded as people around here some would rather children do without then for foodstamps be given. Our country helps other countries children more then is own.”

Not that it matters, since you’ve already REALIZED we’re all monsters who hate children, but when we read from your cited source:

http://www.nokidhungry.org/problem/hunger-facts

“Food insecurity—the limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe food— exists in 17.2 million households in America, 3.9 million of them with children.
“- - -with incomes near or below the federal poverty line, among households with children headed by single parents (35.1% of female-headed households with children are food-insecure) and among Black and Hispanic households.”

Please note neither “limited” nor “uncertain” means “absent”. So what’re our options? 

Do nothing? We’ve already decided to try to help.

Give enough money to feed the children? we already do.

Stop these people from having children? Most of us don’t get them pregnant, we offer free public education to help them get good jobs after graduation, we offer information and materials to avoid pregnancy but anything more might be considered intrusive, paternalistic, sexist and/or racist.

Is it right to force others to pay for their decisions?

http://www.nokidhungry.org/problem/hunger-facts

“Federal nutrition programs play a critical role in helping children build healthy minds and bodies. Unfortunately, statistics show that these resources are not reaching all of the kids who need them.“

Does this say the resources aren’t available?
No, it says the kids aren’t getting them.

http://www.nokidhungry.org/blog/cooking-matters/2012/01/low-income-families-cook-dinner-home-five-nights-week-aspire-eat


“Eighty-five percent of the families surveyed said that eating healthy meals is important to them, and two-thirds of families are interested in learning about cooking healthy meals.”

15% actually admit they don’t care and 1/3 admit they aren’t interested in improving.

		<description>Nobody wants to help our own country but everyone wants to help other countries. Funny how everyone fights for other countries spend billions for them but could care less about its own people being hungry.</description>

		<description>now that I&#039;m not just on my cell phone, 

Some foreign aid goes to Russia probably to reward them for handing over their nuclear bombs to us rather than less friendly people. Fairly cheap for the possible savings in lives and buildings (and cities).

Some foreign aid is basically a rental of space to put military bases. Admittedly, we wouldn’t need them if we didn’t have interests around the world, but we do and fear to walk away from them lest unfriendly people take our place or cut off our vital supplies.

Foreign aid is also a stimulus program for assorted American industries.  By that, I mean quite often the money is only allowed to be spent on items made in America and transported on American bottoms, ships.

This is why the federal government puts the food assistance program in the farm bill. 
The idea is not to feed the poor with healthy meals, that would be much cheaper. 
The idea is to provide sales for farmers or at least agribusiness.

It is all thought to roll around, sales are related to jobs, jobs are related to taxes paid and benefits not paid. Maybe so, maybe no.

		<description>I&#039;m glad this was voted down.  The Socialist Liberals were just using it as a way to promote their envisioned &quot;Welfare State.&quot;  Tell me - just how DO food stamps fit into a &quot;Farm Bill?&quot;  Another of those pork-barrel spending projects.</description>
