    They reject the plans saying it doesn’t address quality nutrition or do anything to combat childhood obesity etc…gee I guess fuck those kids and let them starve is a better plan (/s). It’s absolutely out-of-touch and disgusting rhetoric. Of all the groups of people we should care for collectively, kids should be top priority (parent or not, doesn’t matter).
