What kind of person argues against feeding hungry children?
John Whitmer, a former state representative from Wichita, began a recent Facebook post: I dont mean to be cold-hearted, but. . .
What followed was a scathing criticism of a program that feeds hungry children. Its a common and perennial accusation voiced by many, and its absurd.
Whitmer argued that the Summer Food Service Program, a federal initiative paid for by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, should require families to prove citizenship and financial need before their children can receive a free meal.
