    Thanks, that makes sense. I guess I should have mentioned but you probably figured out , that I live in a country (NZ) where (most?) schools don’t provide lunches.

    Now that you mention the cost angle I think I’ve heard of some schools providing free … breakfast? For kids who show up hungry. But this was specifically a social aid program and not something that was designed/funded to be used by a majority of students.

      That’s how it started here.

      By the Black Panthers

      and the Socialists

      Until our government murdered the leaders and then took the idea because it was so popular.

      Respectfully, you don’t understand how bad things are for the average American.
