Guest Post by Kit Knightly
The UN is pushing for universal free school meals, but that level of control would be easily abused.
There is a growing international campaign to institute free school meals all around the globe. On face of it this might seem like a great idea…
but in the New Normal age nothing is ever really free.
So, let’s unpack…
The campaign is being spear-headed by the UN-backed School Meals Coalition (SMC), whose self-proclaimed goal is “free school meals for every child by 2030” (for some reason they are obsessed with that date).
The SMC already has over 80 national governments signed up to its pledge, with over 90 “partners” (including the Rockefeller Foundation), and these numbers are only likely to grow after their presentation at the UN’s World Food Summit earlier today.
At the same time, the Coalition is getting glowing press write-ups, like this one from The Guardian’s economics editor Larry Elliot:
For the scheme to work, rich countries would find around one-third of the $6bn annual cost, with the rest found by the governments of low-income countries through their budgets or though innovative financing ideas such as debt for school meals swaps, under which countries would channel the savings from debt relief into school meals programmes. At a time when aid budgets are being cut, $2bn a year is small change for donor governments and represents just one day’s worth of annual subsidies to food producers. It is a small price to pay for something that could do so much good.
This agenda has been lurking in the shadows of UK politics for a while now, with Labour Party MP Zarah Sultana first pushing FSM to all primary kids back in the winter of 2022.
It feels weird to write sceptically about this, because, as a self-proclaimed leftist for most of my life, free school meals is exactly the kind of policy I likely would have supported without question just a few short years ago…
…but those few years were Covid years, and they’ve taught us all a lot.
Firstly, and most importantly, it’s become increasingly apparent that any policy is only as fair as the people implementing it, and only as decent as the intention behind it, and, however superficially humane this plan might sound, the practical impact would be to hand yet more control over to the same murderous, eugenicist state that very recently killed thousands with a lie.
Secondly, a monopoly is a monopoly – whether private or state-backed – and the moment a monopoly exists the freedom to choose is dead. Freedom of choice is always the first liberty to go, but never the last.
Consider, for a moment, exactly what free school meals means in a post-covid world still reeling from a deliberately created financial crisis and in the midst of a “Great Reset” transformation.
1) The cost of living is soaring, and many parents – working parents as well as unemployed – are simply not able to afford to heat their homes or feed their children.
2) “Covid” caused a huge spike in homeschooling in countries all around the world.
3) there is an on-going campaign to “revolutionize global food systems” by promoting eating insects, GMOs and lab-grown “meat”.
Let’s trace the point where all these policies intersect.
What are we looking at?
Essentially, free school meals can be used to…
a) counter the rise in homeschooling by effectively bribing or coercing struggling parents to keep their kids in school so they can be fed
b) condition children (and their parents) into accepting eating whatever the state chooses to provide – be it ‘healthy’ GM veganism, bug-burgers or lab-grown food paste
c) this conditioning will help to normalise a more general acceptance of these “foods”
And that’s just the passive phase of control. We can assume it won’t stop there because it never does.
Maybe free school meals will one day be tied to accepting universal basic income payments, or conditional on your digital ID or your social credit score.
Maybe only vaccinated children will qualify for free school meals.
I’m sure you see my point.
The unfortunate truth is that we live in an era of ever-increasing – and anti-human – corporate/state overreach.
The food might be free in the financial sense of the word, but there will most definitely be a price to pay.

The money angle is never mentioned, lots of money to make cheap microwaved heated food and pay for more democrat voters to serve it up. They need some dancing kitchen staff to promote this.
Get out there and hand over your tax dollars to pay for it you slaves. All it takes is six billion to feed the whole fucking world of children. And throw some extra in for ukraine.

Why 2030? Because it is when the next ice age starts and their bullshit will be exposed.
Researchers show new Ice Age may begin by 2030
The arrival of intense cold similar to the weather that raged during the “Little Ice Age”, which froze the world during the 17th century and in the beginning of the 18th century, is expected in the years 2030 to 2040. These conclusions were presented by Prof. V. Zharkova (Northumbria University) during the National Astronomy Meeting in Llandudno in Wales by an international group of scientists, which also includes Dr. Helen Popova of the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics and of the Faculty of Physics of the Lomonosov Moscow State University, professor Simon Shepherd of Bradford University (UK) and Dr Sergei Zharkov of Hull University (UK). – July 17th 2015

It’s why they need to kill off so much of the population. Imagine feeding 8 billion people during an ice age?
Melting icebergs key to sequence of an ice age
It has long been known that ice age cycles are paced by periodic changes to Earth’s orbit of the sun, which subsequently changes the amount of solar radiation that reaches the Earth’s surface.
In their study, the team propose that when the orbit of Earth around the sun is just right, Antarctic icebergs begin to melt further and further away from Antarctica, shifting huge volumes of freshwater away from the Southern Ocean and into the Atlantic Ocean.
As the Southern Ocean gets saltier and the North Atlantic gets fresher, large-scale ocean circulation patterns begin to dramatically change, pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere and reducing the so-called greenhouse effect. Date: January 13, 2021
Climate explained: why is the Arctic warming faster than other parts of the world
These ocean temperatures are regulated, in large part, by a natural climate cycle known as the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation, or IPO. The IPO causes western Pacific temperatures to swing back and forth between warm and cool phases every couple of decades or so.
Often, though, the impact of human-caused climate change is difficult to parse out. There’s so much influence from natural climate variability — what scientists might refer to as “noise” in the climate record — that it often obscures any patterns that could clearly be linked to global warming. – June 30, 2020

I posted this to just show it is all political bullshit. Less then 10 year ago they were predicting a mini-ice age. I guess that didn’t scare enough people, so they switched to global warming and then climate change. But climate has always changed, it would be very odd if if didn’t. If you read the articles the sun’s cycles have a lot to do with this. Also the Earth’s orbit isn’t as stable as people think, it wanders a bit closer and farther over the centuries. The one thing I am sure of, is humans can deal with a bit of increased heat a lot better than another ice age. That would be a human disaster.
My mom penned a little envelope on my shirt with 3 pennys for a milk in kindergarten.
No free lunch where I went to school.
Yes…………..my school was all WHITE kids.
We had school lunch, and everyone had to pay for it, but I brown bagged it through school. I wasn’t about to eat their slop. The big days back then were sloppy joe’s once a week, hot dogs once a week, and before we were out of school for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter you got a chicken leg or thigh, corn and mashed potatoes. The worst was Fridays, with tuna casserole, and I am not kidding when they plopped an Ice cream scoop of tuna casserole on the plate, the kids would stick a fork in it and actually pick up the casserole along with the heavy ceramic plate. That’s why I didn’t eat the crap, and most kids forced to by their parents just walked from the lunch line to the garbage can and scraped it in.
Always free cheese in a mouse trap.
Fuck them and their trash slop “free” food. Already posoined their minds so logically the body has to follow.
ZFG, out.
P.S. let them starve.
Agenda 2030: Because “Agenda 21” didn’t work as intended.
Your kidz vill eat ze bugz.
Imagine supporting starving children.
Geez, I wonder what will be on the menu?
Sunday Morning Classical is way more trustworthy and noble than
School Meals Coalition.
Find another acronym abbreviation, you power hungry centralist control freaks.
I suggest:
Associated School System Health Operations Local Earth Supplementations
Now, abbreviate it.
It fits.
Mice don’t know why the cheese is free.
6 billion a year?? That’s not even pocket change. That’s the sort of money our masters wouldn’t bend over to pick up if it fell from their collective pockets. I guess this alleged “push” is just more socialism and institutionalisation of the world. More dependence on government and a few quick bucks to be made along the way. You don’t have to eat their food, do you? Your kids can eat whatever you want them to, can’t they??
