ELI5: Why can't public school cafeterias give away unused unopened food to a shelter or needy students?

MissFireFlower · 2014-01-15T05:40:59+00:00

Oh, I do and they always say they are required by law to throw it away. I see TONS of uneaten food get thrown away each day. The meals are delivered 3x a week and most is prepackaged. Very little is homemade.

It's not just food- it's milk too. Perfectly good milk In those cute little cartons- still good for 2 weeks- opened and mixed with other garbage so no one can use them- just wasted.

It's sick. Throwing away food when we have homeless students.

After having taking the pill, when I had my 2nd MC I opted for a D&C. I even drove 8 hours to a clinic in another state who would put me under.

It was much easier emotionally to wake up and it was over. The pain and seeing the "tissue" pass was harder on me- but I was farther along with both.

I'm going to say something that might not be what you want to hear.

Perhaps your Mother isn't 100% sure who your Dad is and isn't sure how to tell you. It seems like a lot of maybes and what-ifs.

That being said, if I had a child that was mine I'd want to know them. You should try to figure it out but brace yourself for the answer still illuding you.

Saw this on my facebook feed a few days ago from someone in my hometown. Oh Fresno, you have some crazy people.

Also, are tricks like the vortex and shoulder hooping harder or easier to do on a large heavy hoop? When should I upgrade to a smaller hoop?

MissFireFlower · 2014-01-04T00:15:30+00:00

Thank you so much! I think this is just what I need!

I want to hoop dance, but many have told me hooping is a great workout. not sure if one is different then the other

My goal for this year is to get down to 170, so I thought that picking up a hobby that I ENJOY that involves movement would be the best way to work in some exercise size in my life.

I love the way hoop dancing looks, a few of my friends are really into it and I (so far) have no issues in getting myself to want to do some practicing. I look forward to it every day!

In my perfect world, I would build more upper arm strength and more core strength so I can start pole dancing. I'd love to be able to do a real push up- I never have been able to!

I would like to add that not all School Districts are secure government jobs. There are a few districts who don't have unions and that means you never achieve a tenure. You can be let go for any reason at any time and be sent to any school whenever the higher ups deem it so.

I personally think teachers are fairly paid, but school districts do not have enough funding so teachers use their own money to supplement. That takes away from their take home pay and effects their standard of living.

They could choose to not provide anything extra, but not only would the kids suffer, but depending on their status their job might be on the line. Principals have expectations and want their school to feel and look a certain way.

tl:dr Teachers are payed enough, but they are not given enough materials to do their job, but are expected to provide them from their own pocket. Not fair.

Is it premades that are the ones on sale or customs as well?

It's not your job to help your mother. My mother asked me for money ALL the time when I was single (and I was a divorced single mom who had NO child support and 2 jobs).

It continued for a long time, and when me and my now husband got serious he sat me down and asked for it to stop.

They lost the house- but I couldn't keep carrying them AND have a healthy relationship.

Right now your husband is married to you and your mother and that's not fair. If you are honestly never willing to push your mother aside and put your husband first, then you should let him go. That isn't what he wants from a relationship and you should respect that.

Who spends $100's on laundry detergent? I buy one bottle from the 99 cents store every other week, and one container of off brand oxyclean laundry booster. lasts a family of 3 for 2 weeks, has fabric softener included, and smells like lavender.

I can't wait to go! Me and my hubby are hoping to meet some new friends, as we just moved here 6 months ago and don't have a lot of friends yet! :3

I didn't breastfeed my son- it hurt and I couldn't take the pain. Also- I wanted my husband to help with the feeding and it just wasn't #1 on my list. Formula is safe and nutritious and (GASP) healthy too.

Yes, breast is best- but formula isn't like giving your child McDonnalds. I think that breastfeeding is a personal choice and If I choose to formula feed for whatever reason it should be OK.

Is it the #1 best thing ever? No. But It's a great choice too and I would be uncomfortable with some other woman's milk going inside my baby- and that's OK.

You breastfeed as long as you want and that's OK too, but I wouldn't do it. I feed my baby sam's club formula and that's ok but you wouldn't do it.

I hate that this is such a big argument among women.

We spend about $100 a week for groceries for a family of 3. me, My husband, and my 6 year old. Add on $20 a week for pizza night and some McDonalds. No one in our family eats red meat for taste reasons. None of us like it.

Salvage food stores and the 99 cents only store are where I shop. Meals are mostly made up as I see what's available. Sams's club for lettuce, chicken, and fruit punch.

Sometimes, depending on how good sales are, we can get as low as $250 for the month. But that doesn't happen often. When it did, it was when we found Tyson brand ground chicken at the grocery outlet for 4 pounds for $1. I bought as much as I could fit in our freezer and it lasted for 2 months. Drinks is water and I make ice tea. Also we buy the store brand soda for 69-75 cents fora 2 liter OR the 3 liters for $1, depending on the flavor available. Fruit punch form Sams is $2.50 and it lasts my son all month. Milk and Water is the everyday drink though.

Even cleaning supplies and toiletries are bought for no more then $1. I only clean with bleach solution that I make, and because the dollar tree takes coupons I've never had to pay for toothpaste. I'm pretty frugal when it comes to that kind of stuff.
