There needs to be programs and jobs to make sure the kids get fed at home. Most poor parents who don't feed their children well do so by lack of resources, not laziness

I totally agree with this, but I also think that there are lots of these parents who are not just lacking in the financial resources to properly care for their kids, but the mental resources to do so.
Mental illness and parents who have grown up in troubled homes make them unable to take care of their kids without some kind of assistance whether it is training or counselling to deal with the issues.
