Yes folks, I just had to post this. While it goes against my “better” judgement, I could not pass up the opportunity to display lunacy when it displays itself. It is comforting to know that a government & university could spend tons of money to figure out that their “poor” students have less money than their “rich” students. I mean, why not just have some common sense and use the money for the study to create a solution to the mealtime woes of these students. Alas, no. We must first ‘study’ it, marginalize people into “haves” and “have nots”, as opposed to working on a solution and recognizing that regardless of financial woes, people still have the power to make intelligent choices. Therefore, use that money to create a reduced lunch program for those students, so they don’t have to eat Ramen noodles over & over.
