Where I live, our kids are taught not to share their food. It's an actual rule at their school.

I remember being that kid. My mom once sent me to school with peanut butter and crackers she promoted as "astronaut food."

Then I joined the military later and realized they were MORE items. The teacher asked that I bring something "simpler" in the future.

Doesn't the UK only feed poor kids in school up to like 10 years old or something?

Theresa May wants to remove all free meals from schools, as 'parents should not have had children if they did not budget for their expenses'

He ate his lunch when he got to school!!! Why are they feeding into his problems of over eating!!!!

I don't see onions in the box, but they must be in there under the other stuff.

Little shit should have went out and earned his own lunch. Why should I give him food? He should give ME food, I only have a billion food.

Thanks Donald!

Sorry, was on a Republican website reading an article earlier, I think I might have caught something.

Fucking welfare queen, he should have to work in the factory for school lunch like the rest of us.
CroppedPicturesOfFunnyFaces
But why did he bring an empty lunchpack to school?

I bet he ate it all on the bus. The greedy fucker!

He sold his food earlier in the day for drug money.

He does look like a young Sickboy!
NickRivieraMD
I had the same question then realized it coulda been in his bag from a previous day when he did have food. Mom got drunk and forgot today.
TheBeardedDragon
Looks at the start as if he didn't know if he had food or not
kahdri
Usually you'd grab the lunchbox from the kitchen counter in the morning and put it in your backpack and go to school. Your mom made it the >

evening before, or that morning. I never opened mine to check until lunch break at school (it was always the same). This kid keeps hoping >
kahdri
that *this time* mom remembered (and cared enough) to prepare his lunch. But she didn't.

Cause he knows he can get free refills every day at school.

As if they wouldn't make fun of him in the U.S. for that, either. You know, where Food Stamps are a mark of shame.

Moral of the story. Kids will do anything to get rid of carrot sticks.

If they don't come with ranch or hummus, carrot sticks are fucking useless.

When you are hungry, a carrot stick would taste delicious

Yeah, little kid+shit loads of carrots can change skin tone slightly. Buggs Bunny was my favorite and I are the crap outa carrots. still do

Better that than junk food. If I had kids, I'd be ecstatic that they wanted to eat carrots like crazy. Also, Glad ur not orange anymore ;)
RIPSlurmsMckenzie
As am I, already have almost orange hair.
TomSparky
I fucking loved carrots. My skin started turning yellow because of so many carrots. And my eyesight is still bad
TheScarletBitch
same, but i was a toddler and that's how my mother learned too much of anything is too much.
smu23
Put some fat on the carrots (Oil or butter). This dissolves carotenoids of the carrot. Beta-Carotenoid is what your body turns to vitamin A.
claudesniper
Carrots don't affect the shape of your eyeball.
LordSlothaFro
Well the bad eyesight is from the masturbation.

fun fact: carrots don't improve your eyesight. that was just misinformation for the nazi's so they wouldn't know about radar ^~^

Carrots, have a lot of beta carotenoid which can be turned to vitamin a by your body if you eat them with fat. Vit. A is good for your eyes.

MethelyneBlue
When my husband was in high school his family didn't have enough money to feed him breakfast or lunch. He never told anyone but his friends
MethelyneBlue
put two and two together. They would help bring him meals and the teachers helped pay for his gas since there wasn't a bus that went out by
MethelyneBlue
him. He said it was a truly humble experience and it's helped him give to others who don't have what they need.
Mercenarity
Lucky. Some schools nowadays actually have rules against people paying for other kids' meals or sharing food. Gets chucked if found out.
MethelyneBlue
They kept it on the down low for this bed reason.
Spartan132
Why aren't they eating lunch in the cafeteria?
SomeDetroitGuy
Lots of non-US countries don't have cafeterias and don't feed their poor kids like we do.
MissSiesta
It's a Norwegian ad.
Spartan132
So there's no cafeterias in Norway?
MissSiesta
Not in schools with kids, no. In high school, yes, at times.
Spartan132
Huh.... I did not know that. Cultural differences eh?
rooik14
One of the interesting things my German teacher told me years ago was that German kids usually walked home for lunch.

What dick head parent sends a kid to school with an empty lunch box.
jm198910
Was about to comment the same thing.

Here's another one: an unseen character in an intentionally exagerated tale meant to convey a message. You try now.
cp1015
Such a cynic.. here's one scenario: a very poor one who's afraid to tell their kid that they cannot afford to provide for them.
SomeDetroitGuy
A Norwegian, apparently
tsuzeeque
Oh come ON! Where were the kids like that when I was being brutalized everyday in school! Gives me some hope for the next generation.
wurdtoyer
This is an ad and ads are bullshit. Empathy isn't innate, it's learned. Children are literally evil. I'm also really sorry that happened.
abacab87
I remember as a kid if you forgot your lunch the teacher would ask the class for extra food and you'd end up with a better lunch.
SomeDetroitGuy
In ours, the school just fed you.
WillJeSuis
This is an ad. Scripted. What hope?
tsuzeeque
Yhe fact that we are even talking about hungry kids gives me hope. As do news items about kids making sandwiches for others at school!
AlrightKeepYourSecrets
Everyone's situation's different. Most i encountered in early school were pretty okay
klatremus
It's a norwegian ad, it's about wanting more fosterhome for children in need of it.
kumaoni
It's a movie as well.. "Stanley ka dabba"
whothatwhothatatmydoor
Former foster child; literally didn't have money for food in school. Instant memories of hiding during lunchtime. Ad seems accurate.
zephyrbell
I would adopt this boy so fast and feed him all the food
PhillipBee
Does Norway not have cafeterias in their schools or was the kids eating in the class room used for dramatic effect?
sponlapp
As far as I recall there was rarely any of them, and if it had one its either shitty or expensive AF.
lexilee
Haha, no, eating elsewhere is unheard of... not until high school was there ever a "cafeteria", and even then most people didn't use it.
PhillipBee
were*
klatremus
No they make the lunch at home in the morning before they leave for school, and it's rare that they have cafeteria.
CalahanWarwinger
Same in Canada if your not in highschool
groggilol
Cafeterias is rare even in high school. We make our lunch @ home before school.
KNIVESY
That sounds fuckin dreadful.
MissSiesta
Packing a good lunch for your kid is almost an indication of how good a parent you are.
KNIVESY
Damn. That's rude. My parents are fuckin excellent and not once did they pack me a lunch.
theincrediblebullshittingman
Don't kids in Norway get free lunch in school?
klatremus
Sadly no..
Wanderlay
Norway is weird. They just eat a sandwich for lunch.
aneane
And we have hardly any morbidly obese.
MissSiesta
Swedes do, though. A hot meal, even.
MissSiesta
I know. All the Swedes here brag about it and look at us funny ;)
theincrediblebullshittingman
Here in Finland, too. Been that way for generations.
KebmtheBear
Black children only exist in interurban schools this is false
MissSiesta
No. In the cities, and suburbs. They're spreading refugees around now too, but most prefer the cities, naturally.
ISupportYourViews
Interurban means "between cities." Is that where the black people in Norway live?
MissSiesta
They live all over. Most prefer the biggest cities: Oslo, Trondheim, Bergen.
MissSiesta
That being said, some parts of the country needs a little black, yellow, and brown to spice up the pale population
GavinScreaming
Hey Norwegians are already good looking enough. You don't need those beautiful mixed race people too
howToLoseTheGame
Are there poor people in Norway anyways?
MissSiesta
Depends on your definition of poor, of course. But yes, we do have a group that's not doing so great.
Dobbydidntdeserveit
Doesnt have to be poor to have a shitty ass family, the ad is about fostercare
Norwegiansauce
7 thousand more of them every year under the current government.

"Free". TANSTAAFL

Oh, fuck off. It's free for the kids.

It's free for those who need it to be free.

No. Used to be free fruit, but the current right-winged government put a stop to it :(

If people/countries can't spare money for their children, what are they living for?

Hey-o lil brother, Sweden here! Can't you use some of that handy oil money for that, or is it just for super villain-ideas?

MissSiesta
Plus, I'm convinced the oldies are putting it all into any innovation that can create eternal life...
MissSiesta
Hello, søta bror! Yes, you would think so, but apparently all the rich old retired people need spinning classes more :(
JohnnyWalkerTexas
Spinning? I thought your natural strength came from traversing at least 5 fjords before getting to the mall!
TheGreatLadyGagathe
No! We can't use that money on children! Are you crazy? Then we won't be rich anymore.

Trump cancelled meals on wheels.
JupitersWitch
Oh my god, no he fucking didn't. I'm getting so tired of all the sensationalism. Learn how shit works.

Well no, he wanted to reduce funding that was used in part for meals on wheels. I don't think he managed to, and is different from this. 1/2
popau
But with DeVos in charge I expect school lunches to be out pretty soon anyhow 2/2
hardytardigrade
No, he submitted a budget (recommendation) which called for it to be cancelled. Congress so far hasn't agreed.
poopfarts666
His administration threatened to cancel it *negotiation!*
chardlz
That's patently false... Or if it isn't then my ex coworkers have been wasting lots of time every week making food for them

We don't have free lunch in Germany, either, but then again, the school day usually ends around 1pm. Parents are required to pack a /1

CoderWithoutCaffeine
Kids are naive, they can't comprehend the situation at that age.
surroundedbystupid
I'm not sure what kids you've encountered, but they can. The way they're raised will determine if they help. But they know. Trust me.
ArcaneM37
Generally true, but some can. Found out my daughter was giving away her snacks to a friend who didn't get any.
Cspott
You couldn't be more wrong. How often are you around kids? I've been around them professionally for 23 years and can attest to goodness.
wompwompwomp
This happened to me. I can recall plenty of times in school that I didn't have a lunch, but none that I had to go without. People are good.
WhatTheDormouseSaid
This was definitely the teachers idea.
RobBobertyYT
Kids seem a lot nicer than when I was one from what I see.
HiggsBosonYoFace

In my old class, they would have spit in the lunchbox of the poor guy when he wasn't around and lough at you. Source: I was that poor guy.

I asked my son if the kids in his class all had lunch. He said no, and named a couple which usually didn't have much/anything. He said.. 1/2

that he shared with them. After that, I doubled his lunch, so that he could keep sharing without missing out. Sometimes people need help 2/2

We had usually 9 people living in a small house with only 1 income. Free lunch was hard to qualify for and my step dad made too much but we

Couldnt afford food for everyone plus lunch money. Friends at school would give me some food to get by.

Any food or money we did have, i made sure my 3 younger siblings had a chance to use first. Parents were not the type to take care of that.
fluhatinrapper
I gave my now adopted brotger half of my lunch most days in school. My dad packed enough for both.

This is lovely, your father made a kind choice
jazzyshiteLord
Kids usually are, until taught otherwise from the adults
LamePotato
Some kids are just terrible even though they have great parents.
flyelectro8888
In my experience: a lot of kids are shit, a lot don't care, and some are actually good. Pretty much the same with adults. Wish i was wrong.
LamePotato
I think a good parent can help a child become a better adult. But you don't get to see the results for 10 or 20 years.
ravenskull
Not the ones I met in my school time. Even the "good" ones would lought at you and try to lecture you after all the bullies beat you down.
jazzyshiteLord
Meaning they were already "taught" to be bad by the adults. Kids aren't born to be bullies, society shapes them.
ravenskull
I think the other way around. Kids tend to be selfish/cruel unless adults r around. It's on us to open their eyes for the feelings of others
jazzyshiteLord
Those kids you refer to have been influenced by the world around them, they aren't born that way. No one is.
gerdygerdygerdy
I remember when I was little I'd always share my lunch with this girl who sat next to me, then all the other kids started asking for some to

Everyone willingly gives up a small amount of their assets so a poor person can have a less shitty life, so it's definitely not American.

Can't really speak for other areas tho. May be different in other regions.
RatoMolhado
I meant that it doesn't have to do with where it is from, but with humanity.
Fireguy97
It has to be. North American kids certainly wouldn't be eating lunches that healthy.
bixby66
Yeah if it were American he'd open his lunch box to a steaming turd and a kid behind him would throw a brick at his head.
PeopleSeemToHaveLongNamesOnImgur
I'd assume if it were America he'd be on a lunch program and get the school lunch for free... but you know.... bullies are a thing too.
MexicanHandOff
Probably not for long though
EvilEkips
Most schools don't have a lunch program here because of insane health rules for public kitchens/catering.
PeopleSeemToHaveLongNamesOnImgur
Where is here? Because every school I've ever went to and every school my daughter has gone to and every school my wife has gone to serves
PeopleSeemToHaveLongNamesOnImgur
lunch to kids who can pay for it and to kids who are signed up to the lunch program because of their parents finances.
