@brantly , people are judgemental because they pay for the poor and have been paying for over 50 years. The poorest people as a group are also the fattest, which is another problem, and which makes the student hunger situation particularly egregious. The best situation would be if we didn’t have any poor people because they all found good jobs, so no one would have any right to complain about them. But hunger in America is not acceptable except if by choice or bad judgement. Without some discipline of failure, people just don’t learn.
