My 7 year old got a 120 dollar food card in the mail from the state of Illinois today. The school district has free breakfast and lunch for all students so it's not for lunches there, it's for whatever grocery store we use. He doesn't qualify for any assistance of any kind. Has anyone else received something similar or know why he got it?

He also gets Medicare shit in the mail even though he's fully covered by my insurance from work. We've never applied for anything
 
Yeah, yesterday. Got one last year and pitched it. I assume it's due to the skanky neighborhood we live in- free lunches for everyone. This thing says for use at POS terminals, so not school.

Was street sweeping at Tikatnew this spring and all of a sudden kids were boiling through my operation with zero fucks.

Apparently it was lunch and they go to McDonalds. Surprised several walked that far, pushing 300+ lbs.

We had decent lunch at school. Way better than the shit they serve at McDonalds. And was like $1.50 a meal.

As a kid my parents taught me way young to not walk near heavy equipment. These must have been the special needs groups

That's exactly how his looks. I have absolutely no idea why he received it since he doesn't qualify for anything
 
"Children who would have received free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Act if their schools were not closed or operating with reduced hours or attendance for at least 5 consecutive days are eligible to receive P-EBT benefits."

You said the district gives free meals, so the kid qualified for the program. Didn't read everything, just googled pebt.

Huh... I just found out a couple weeks ago that all kids get free breakfast, snack, and lunch in my district. Does this mean over hollidays/breaks they will get food cards?
 
no wonder kids are fat , we never ate breakfast before school and didn't have snack time in school.
lunch lady pizza on Friday with peanut butter squares ( no one died from peanut allergies back then)

my wife was poor as fuck , never got assistance, probably should have ..... her dad was not the sharpest knife in the drawer, always had money for smokes and beer.

Eating breakfast doesn't make kids fat...sitting around being sedentary makes kids fat.

You didn't have recess in school? Just one break at lunch?

Waistlines are determined in the kitchen.

Activity might kick your metabolism up higher but a kid's is already pretty high. Fat kids is an input side problem not an output side problem.

This. You’re not gonna lose weight no matter the amount of exercise you do when you eat 4000 calories of carbs and sugar a day. We limit the amount of sugary snacks in the house just to limit the amount me and the kids eat:lmao:. There is always fresh fruit vegetables to snack on if you get hungry.

I have done this experiment 3 times:

Invite US friend to live with me in Europe (France) for an extended period of time (has to be long enough to see changes).
Over the course of the next 3 months they have all lost 20+ lbs from diet change alone.
No gym, no starving, no privations of the great local delicacies etc.

Just better food intake.

Did wonders for an ex. She looked :smokin:



Also fun fact :

They all went back to the US, and all re-gained the weight :grinpimp:
 
The county I live in qualified and cards were sent to every family with a child in school. We probably received over a grand total. I will admit it felt wrong to spend it as we didn't need the money but I figured it was my tax money to begin with so I may as well use it.

Yea we cant opt out of them. Its pure fucking sugar as well. The healthiest thing is a bagel with cream cheese. Holy shit then they wonder why kids hve behavior problems and dont listen. Ok its 7:30 am lets feed you kid lucky charms, chocolate milk, jello, apple juice and then send them to class.

Um sir you child doesn’t seem to pay attention and fidgets a lot during class.
Ya dont say. Well No Shit Sherlock. You jacked him up on sugar like Hunter on a weekend bender then expect him to hold still and pay attention? He is freaking 8:mad3:

Here there is really strict standards on what they give the kids... and if the kids bring sugary stuff from home they will take it from them and make them eat the school lrovided foods.

Every kid in the 1 school, school district gets free meals. The school has fund raisers throughout the year to do it

That's faster/easier/better than having dozens of parents try and manage is.

Problem is when it becomes a money grab like it is in most districts.

They have a fried chicken dinner a few times a year at the community center to raise money. It's a pre-k through 8th grade school with about 150 students

This …. Is incorrect.

If you eat 4000 calories and then burn 4100 calories exercising you will lose weight. That’s true whether the calories come from cupcakes or carrots.
