I highly doubt many of those parents would prefer to prepare their kids lunches when big 'Ol daddy government will happily do it for them. Same with the school system giving out free lunches during the summer when school isn't even in session.  When you remove all expectations of parental responsibilities to their own children you get more of the same. I don't really see a "Food insecurity" problem where I go because just about every kid I see is severely overweight.
