oh, one guy at a redneck school district in kansas said so... lol
let's ask the kids what they want and serve cotton candy everyday as lunch?

No,but your awkward question sure does make me worried that taxpayers may have failed to get value in the classrooms of the schools you attended. Children who are hungry will eat regardless of what is served. If they are as picky as you make them out to be,I doubt they are truly hungry.
BTW,American schools are not required to offer lunch programs. It is a decision at the local level,not the federal level.

Socialism isn't measured by how much money a capitalist government spends.
As a matter if fact, socialism isn't even something that can be "measured" in the first place. It's an entirely separate economic system. You either have socialism, or you don't have socialism at all. It's that simple.
"Socialist ideals" do not count as socialism either, because "socialist ideals" (like social security or redistributing the wealth) do not alter the framework of capitalist class relations.
Even the most dull-witted and ignorant right winger knows this, and "not being able to choose" isn't a form of socialism either. There are quite a lot of capitalist countries where workers have NO ABILITY to choose where to work because of the monopoly capitalists gobbling up competition. This isn't socialism by any stretch of imagination.
