I don't know exactly what Head Start is.
I thought it was intended to ensure that little children under the age
of 10 got enough food so as to not suffer from malnutrition so that
their brains might have enough grey matter to actually learn something
when they start school.

Before we decide on its merit or lack thereof, perhaps we ought to
define it in a emotionless manner.  (As much as is possible around
here.)
