It'd be a lot easier to just let the kids go to the 7/11 and get food there Because someone has to still pay for the food they're eating. Can't get it for free. If they didn't bring their own lunch to school, aren't of the necessary age to go off-campus for food, they can buy food with either cash or credit. When the time comes, they'll need to pay off the credit, just like everyone else on Earth does with their credit cards. <cite>WastelandCowboy posted [p:897132978] in Hey Americ...

Which is probably another main difference... I don't know if it was dangerous in my area, but it certainly wasn't really an option. My town didn't have fast food until I was like 15, and the diner was a good hour long walk from either the elementary/middle school (they were right next to each other) or the high school. Plus, most kids lived a good 5 miles or so from the school so it was not like they were going to walk home. The only reason kids would have to leave campus would be to do some drugs in the woods behind the school. Otherwise you are basically just walking though fields. --- I am a senior software engineer.
