They have been cutting out food stamps for the poor, now the middle class ends up in soup kitchens. There are alot of people that dont take advantage of these programs, their slave labor jobs in combination with high prices doesnt give much leg room for alot of people. Yes, I too packed b agged lunches at school.
Speaking of school, the taxes go up every year, where does it go?
I saw a picture on Reddit of one of those big school garbage cans on wheels loaded with milk cartons that were full and the janitor posted it. He said something to admin about the food waste and they told him don't worry about it.
When stuff is just handed to you and it's not yours and you didn't pay for it, you don't appreciate it, as much as if you earned it. You come to feel entitled to it and it promotes waste. My folks would be so mad at me if I was dumping out glasses of milk at home when I was a kid.
