Tim discusses Ohio ending free school lunches from the COVID era, with kids' trays literally being taken back if they can't pay, and riffs on whether hunger might motivate children.
- Ohio school officials are taking lunch trays away from children whose parents cannot pay the two to three dollar daily fee after the free COVID lunch program ended.
- Tim contrasts the tray-taking policy with billions in weapons funding sent to Ukraine, questioning the priorities.
- Tim considers whether hunger might be intentional motivation, citing his father's saying about a hungry dog running the farthest.
- If schools can afford weapons funding elsewhere, why not enough money to feed all children lunch?
- Tim theorizes the real reason might be that children are overweight and the school is rationing food as a fitness measure.
- He wonders if free lunches create complacency in kids, or if they're actually necessary for focus and learning.
- Children who arrive late to school panic about missing breakfast, and many no longer eat meals at home before arriving.
