But Your Leader's Certainly Onto Something

All credit to David Shearer for a bunch of inter-related proposals that've even earned an unprecedented amount of talkback show (host at least) applause or not downright rejection for once. For making a well thought through, carefully considered and nuanced early policy pronouncement to boot. I'm talking about school lunches in particular. Showing that occasionally the U S of A is, welfare-speaking,  decades ahead of NZ, as it is in terms of food stamps (as opposed to the dole etc). As Mr Shearer so brilliantly pre-empted governmental criticism, sure, giving folks (parents of unfed kids) jobs etc is an important question, no question about it. But that won't feed the kids, folks; and hungry bodies are not well-equipped minds!
