State Rep. Cynthia Davis (R-MO) provided a press release from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services on a summer food program.
The program provides “food during the summer for thousands of low-income Missouri children who rely on the school cafeteria for free or reduced-price meals during the regular school year.”
Davis is a chairwoman of the Missouri House Special Standing Committee on Children and Families, questioned whether the program is “warranted” and discussed the hidden benefits of child hunger:
Who’s buying dinner? Who is getting paid to serve the meal? Churches and other non-profits can do this at no cost to the taxpayer if it is warranted. [...] Bigger governmental programs take away our connectedness to the human family, our brotherhood and our need for one another. [...] Anyone under 18 can be eligible? Can’t they get a job during the summer by the time they are 16? Hunger can be a positive motivator. What is wrong with the idea of getting a job so you can get better meals?
