    Estimated 15 million ar-15's in america, 99.99% are responsible owners.  Worth it.  The statistics are actually in my favor.  

    Because owning guns is absolutely on par with feeding hungry kids
    And you Canadians suck at reading because no one is discussing free and reduced lunch!!!!  Michelle Obama s new lunch program if anything left a lot of kids hungry.
    God I hope all of you who preach how America is so bad  really put your money where your mouth is and don’t visit us. Please don’t come here.  The other millions upon millions of people visiting here will make up for you. 
    This seems uncalled for. The attack on the Canadians that is.
    I was referring to the two Canadians who can’t read, not all Canadians. I should have been more clear. It just gets really frustrating when words are twisted. I still haven’t seen where free and reduced lunch was talked about in the last two pages. 
    Is it even confirmed that Halifax is Canadian??
    I always thought he was based on his screen name. I really have no clue. 

    I don't recall ever seeing him comment about any Canadian issue, so I've always assumed he's American despite the screen name.

    I definitely could be wrong.

    I wonder if Halifax will confirm? Or will it remain a mystery? ;)

    pizza is a vegetable, what's the problem?
    The side dishes are the expensive problem. 
    Wings & fries?
    Carrots and peas are much more expensive. 
    Who eats that shit? Lol

    Frozen bags of organic carrots and peas cost me like $1.50 at target, maybe your district should shop there lol
    That s the point bud. No one eats that shit but yet schools all across America were forced to make these switches. Like i said, I couldn’t believe the amount of waste in the garbage over the years.   what kids want to eat vegetables with lunch?  from my observation, not many at all. 

    In Sweden kids eat vegetables with lunch.

    If America is the greatest country in the world, why do kids have to bring their own food to school...
    What?! I mean this makes zero sense to me. Is bringing your own lunch some sort of insult in Sweden?
    Kids don't bring their own lunch in Sweden, no?

    Bringing your bag of crisps sounds like something from medieval times or some far-off bananarepublic.

    They do all over most of the world, whenever veggies are available (i.e. not too poor to get any). North America is just doing it ALL WRONG when it comes to feeding children now. They are (in general) conditioning children to eat like shit without even realizing it.

    If today's kids are going to have even a chance of living a halfway decent life, they are going to need to learn to eat more vegetable and less meat.  Here is why:

    But still parents won't take their responsibility. 

    But hey -  "what kids want to eat vegetables?" Opinions out of some parallel universe stuck in the 1950s.

    Get educated people.

    I have a different take.  Humans are meant to eat meat.  It's the fact that we are over-populating the planet as people continue to have way too many kids that's the root cause.

    That's not really a balanced "take". That is a defense for destroying the planet... or murder billions of people?

    Seriously? First of all... http://time.com/4252373/meat-eating-veganism-evolution/

    Cause of course those are the only 2 outcomes.  Or you could slowly improve the situation through multiple avenues.

    Well, we as humans can't destroy the planet, except for ourselves. The planet will adapt and create the next more advanced species long after we self destruct. Humans are stupid and think we can control everything when in fact we are really controlling the cause of our demise. It seems for now we are content with it being death by environmental destruction, which should eventually be expedited by the ensuing wars over food and water.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Well, we as humans can't destroy the planet, except for ourselves.
    What? Raise those blinders.

    "The destruction of wild habitat for farming, logging and development has resulted in the start of what many scientists consider the sixth mass extinction of life to occur in the Earth’s four billion year history. About half the Earth’s animals are thought to have been lost in the last 50 years."
    *

    B-b-b-but we are destined to eat meat. ITS DESTINY.

    Lazy determinism is laughable

    Well seems, by the looks of US kids that you parents over there have a almost unique problem with it. NOW GIVE THEM A BAG OF CRISPS FOR SCHOOL!

    Here is a very interesting article about it. North America definitely has a problem with this picky eating with their kids, it's a relatively new problem, and it's about parenting techniques as far as I can tell, combined with a shift in the food industry - it's a widespread cultural shift that's taken place, which has negatively affected the eating habits of children. But it seems like there are things you can do to prevent it (although it's probably too late for kids over a certain age with the issue - seems like something that needs to start young).
