Canada is the only G7 country without a national school food program. Advocates say it's time

Come to Ontario and you will learn of our priorities. It isn't civil liberties and it definitely is not protecting our most vulnerable. Sad to know that children are going to bed hungry in such a wealthy nation. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canada-national-school-food-program-advocates-1.6980950

This is because education and its funding are the constitutional purview of the provinces.

Congrats Canada. I miss such a program since decades in Germany. ...

Oh sorry: I thought you are the first nation who has such a food program. We have not. And we are a G7 member. I guess I would know if we had such a program in our public school systems. Food helps children directly. Money for food helps nothing when parents use it for alcohol, drugs or debts or on any other reason for "themselves" (for example for an extremely high rent for their superrich house owners).

Sad to feel how many children in Germany tomorrow will go without breakfast to school. No wonder that they are often not concentrated, hyperactive and/or not motivated or even apathic - what our leading idiots here often fight with medicine - and what is also wrong in 97% of all cases and only an additional problem.
