If you are so big into stats, them I'm sure you know that a single data point should not be used to describe an entire population.

And I'm sure you know the US child poverty rate is one of the highest in the industrialized world.

And we're talking free, not partially subsidized, here.

You're the one using a single data point, your school district, and correlating it to the overall health of the US, not I.

If you are confused about this, here is the relevant post

To the contrary, with a negative 1% saving rate- ame as 1933's, the Middle Class IS the Working Poor.

For example, at ther school district where I teach most kids would have no breakfast if not for our school program. My entire point on this thread is warning against selection bias. Possible selection bias in the WHO study, and now selection bias based upon observations of one school district in Wisconsin.
