What I love about that is it's always the go-to argument by some conservatives, and usually the least informed conservatives, right?
They're really angry about free lunches.
And of all the issues, of all the different things that we waste our tax dollars on.
It's not the issue of school lunches.
I said it.
I just don't understand it.
Yeah.
None of these people actually care about feeding people because they don't do anything to help.
I know.
So one thing I don't talk about in the mix here is โ so every Monday at the restaurant, we give away 200 meals, real meals, organic shrimp, chicken, vegetables that are grown from our own farmers, our meals that are $30, $40 each.
We give away 200, sometimes more, sometimes a little bit less.
to anyone in Huntington Beach or the surrounding community that's struggling.
Typically, it is families.
I know who comes to get them.
Families who can pay and they're like, hey, this is nice actually that you offered this.
We're kind of struggling a little bit.
We do that.
We do that while I'm simultaneously also saying stop.
relying on the government as a crutch.
I'm a private business, and I'm going to put my foot forward because I do want to stop some of these hunger issues.
