There are services for kids. In Regina there are 70 agencies within one sq mile offering the services you think the kids lack. The kids know they exist, educators know they exist, doctors know they exist.

Starving? No. Malnutritioned definetly.

there are tons of services for kids, what you can not see is that little ones don't just go there to pick up food and then make dinner, they are babies...as for educators...sure we call F and CS...sure some of our kids have their own lawyers, sure, sure, sure...they still don't get food on the weekends...and with our protection laws and privacy laws, abuse can be subtle and hard to prove but it's still there, hunger is still there, malnutrition is still there

hunger for Canadian children is real and should concern all of us

as for doctors...here's what one ped says:

We live in one of the wealthiest countries in the world. But hunger is something that we at the hospital increasingly see among the families that bring their children to us for medical attention.
For 10 days beginning May 6, which marked the start of Hunger Awareness Week in Canada, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food is making a formal country mission visit to Canada. It’s the first-ever visit to a developed nation by Olivier de Schutter, a Belgian law professor who became special rapporteur in 2008.
As a signatory to both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1976), Canada has a legal obligation to “respect, protect and fulfill the right to food.”
It’s my hope that this visit – and the recommendations in the report that Prof. de Schutter will subsequently produce – will throw a spotlight on the disturbing truth that far too many Canadian children are hungry because their families lack access to adequate and nutritious food.
Food Secure Canada estimates that almost 2.5 million Canadians live without secure access to food.




Why are we concerned here? Many pediatricians with community practices tell us that finding the money to feed their children is the top problem faced by many parents they meet.
We see children whose parents struggle with poverty. We admit proportionately more children from high poverty neighbourhoods to hospital than from other neighbourhoods, and the children from poorer neighbourhoods stay longer at the hospital.
We know that childhood hunger – which of course is linked to poverty – has long-term impacts on physical and mental health.

In my opinion you're waisting you're time. Best to work at changing our culture of dogg fu€king and laziness, our culture of being irresponsible and dependent on everything then waste you're time fighting a war you will never win, because the root problem is the culture in these people's minds.

Like a doctor you are looking at the symptom (starving kids). And trying to administer medicine based on the symptom, but you're not looking at the picture as a whole, We are.

Forcing adults to live strong consequences for the irresponsible behaviour is the solution.

As many as it takes to feed my family



As I was saying
Our sociaty is in desperate need of the masculin kind of love.

Tough love.

The balance has been broken, the winning dynamic is lost.

I can't see how loving guys is going to increase white birth rates

Re: ‘National moral disgrace’: Over 1 in 5 US children on food stamps & living in pov

Too much tough love is just as damaging to a sociaty then too much unconditional love.

Hey as long as I can make you're blood boil a little I'm happy, It's nice to see you still have a little bit of fight in you left after all that failure.

I think our culture as a sociaty is sick, I'm looking to find the root problem instead of waisting my time patching up the victim.

Both need to happen

It's not my role to patch up victims

if you were the victim, you would change your tactics...and for some reason, I have little confidence in your approach but do carry on, an effort is better than nothing

In days of yore, your teacher would probably rap your knuckles if you're constantly parroting nonsense and ill will. The lazy should answer for their laziness - NOT their kids. Kids learn what they see so show them something better

Sure, some people need to tend to the victims, I'll take care of of solving the problem.
