13. Anyone who begrudges a school lunch (OR breakfast -- that's a thing now, too) for a poor kid is a real Scrooge.

Even people who blame the poor for being poor should be able to see that it's not fair to punish a KID for having poor parents. What's more, that kid's chances of eventually escaping the cycle of poverty are improved by being well-nourished enough to be able to concentrate in school!

A pox on mean, stingy people!
