The corporations who own government want the country to worry more about school lunch programs than the subsidy, bailout, monopoly, and off-shore system which robs a large group of taxpayers on behalf of small group of shareholders. They produce factoids like this on a daily basis. Ronald Reagan's family was saved by a government work program during the depression. FDR didn't see it as a handout, but an investment in human capital. He thought the country was stronger if men like Ronald Reagan were not crushed by poverty. He thought there was immense value and excellence stored in the American people - at all levels. What did Reagan do with the support he got from this country? He taught a generation of people to see the poor as scammers and welfare queens, and government as the grand enabler, creator of the perverse incentive. He did this in order to lower the tax burden on his backers.
