As the propaganda arm of the socialists perpetrate the end of days scenario over provision of other peoples funded Food, is it now the state should be investigating exactly why such inanity is being used to lead many of the infotainment subtle attacks on the government they have no wish to support.
End the program and use the funding saved to investigate all the cases being advanced to support the nonsense, all those who managed to survive marmite and lettuce on white bread of yesteryear have no wish to continue.
The nations schools are a month into a new year after a very long period with no opportunity to have provided any sustenance to the thousands of children who have been forced to endure seven weeks of alleged poverty driven malnutrition.
White bread from either rapacious supermarkets at approximately .6 cents a slice, a scrape of vegemite/marmite, pepper and salt, margarine/butter and a couple of lettuce leaves makes reaching a $1 cost still not met. an Apple or another piece of fruit, less than a dollar and the third dollar for labour and freight where in the hell did they get to $8.
As a, what my Sin in law tells me, “beneficiary” I am in awesome wonder how any family might struggle to meet $15 a week to lunch a child. Then again I do not gamble, do drugs, or more than a tipple of alcohol, so perhaps a mere hundred million, one fifth of the budget, might allow investigation of the perceived problem of feeding children that a quite generous welfare by world standards does not provide for.

Tattoos also seem to be a pricey folly.
The wealth that is taken, borrowed, spent and redistributed by people we call “the government” is created by the daily efforts of productive working wage and salary earners.
Sure, the employers deserve credit but they would not do very well without the help of their employees.
Ever since 1973, productivity and GDP have increased greatly but working people’s real incomes have lagged more and more behind. That is why 2 parents have to work to provide for their families instead of only one.
This progressive impoverishment of the “deplorable” productive working people has been caused by government decisions to distribute more of the wealth that is produced (now and in the future) to 2 favoured social and economic groups.
1. The social and economic UPPER CLASS minority who are well represented and served by the National party.
2. The so-called VICTIM CLASS who are represented and served by the Labour Party.
The members of both of these preferred classes have been recipients of more and more of the wealth created by the efforts of the WORKING CLASS whose share of what they help create has steadily decreased.
The members of both favoured classes are essentially PARASITES who feed off of the wealth created by the working people of the SILENT MAJORITY who have no political party to speak for them.
The elite authorities in both the National and Labour party compete for the votes of the working people by pretending to offer them a fairer share of the wealth they create but it does not happen and never will.
The working class “deplorables” will become poorer and poorer until they are finally unable to bear it and have to DO SOMETHING.
What they have to do is stop being apolitical and exploited, by choosing a political party to join, participate in and OWN as the members of the Upper and Victim classes have done for themselves.
In my opinion National, Labour, the Greens, the Maori party and all the new little parties people have been stating are a complete waste of time.
The only realistic choices are either ACT or NZ1st.
My preference is for ACT.
It was founded to become the party of, by and for the people that are BOTH Consumers and Taxpayers.
This Consumers AND Taxpayers are mostly wage and salary earning members of the working class who have no influence in the other political parties and are therefore deprived of their fair share of the wealth they help to produce.
ACT has failed to represent the productive working people effectively because the intended beneficiaries are too apolitical and apathetic to join, participate and become influential in any political party.
They prefer to remain members of the “silent majority” that has no real voice in their government and continue voting for the 2 main parties that steal the proceeds of their labour, waste it and redistribute it to the “parasites”.
ACT should and could be the party of, by and for the common productive working people, who are becoming more angry about being ignored, exploited and ripped off, but that would require some active involvement and participation instead of just criticizing and complaining to political elites and bureaucrats that DO NOT CARE.
Now, now, now GD;
Why complain about all the fun of going to STUFF in the A.M. and reading the latest winge about how terrible the FREE SCHOOL LUNCH is and how it is tearing the coalition apart?
Hmmmm
Just remember the old adage “There is no such thing as a free lunch” and smile
