so it creates an incentive to slowly kill the average person

eggs, splash of milk, cheese and butter, mixed with whatever flavour sauce and served with meat / fish of your choice, gets me out of bed in the mornings!

The entire nutritional labelling system needs a rework

hah yea I believe it

there is no daily % for sugar

or HFCS

artificial sweeteners etc.

they should include daily % for nearly everything

Who is "they"

FDA

government? that makes me chuckle, I have a serious lack of faith in them to do a good job

Current nutritional labelling system was made back when we thought macronutrient fats caused strokes and heart attacks

Which is now literally false yet the recommended fats remained the same...

And carbs are recommended at high amounts even though it's the only optional macronutrient

fucking insane innit

It is... but i am so jaded now with the state of western nations that I dont really have any expectations of them doing a good job in anything

One of the funnier hypocrisies of american conservatives however is wanting mandatory public education

however not giving school lunches a fairly small expenditure

Just force a kid to go somewhere 8 hours a day and not feed them

I mean where do you even begin to start sorting the issues, it will take decades to make any positive effect and then demographics will turn everything to shit anyway

I don't know why republicans do this honestly

do american conservatives want mandatory public education?

what about school choice?

Ok

You are forced to go somewhere from 5-18

Could be private or home

but regardless, the default is public education

and republicans don't want free school lunches, a fairly small expenditure

yeah i see your point now

You should not be able to force someone to go somewhere

and then not provide for them

imo

it is a bit fucked up, but i guess the logic is that you have to eat anyway, so eat at the school

Well the school should pay for it

if they're gonna force you to be there

It's a losing issue

Like how are you going to morally justify forcing a 5-18 to go somewhere for 8 hours and not feed them?

It's just an autistic stand against public spending

What if the kid decides to get extra food?

Imagine if you joined the army got deployed then they told you to get your own food on the battlefield

@Bagrat pretty much, and the army would be more justified in telling you to fuck off and die because you signed up
