yeah, looking back I was taking food out of garbage cans on days I couldn’t stand the fasting … my parents could more than afford school lunches, so this wasn’t an issue of poverty, but I agree that kids should be fed, and if I were a parent there is no chance I would let my kid go to school without some kind of lunch
In my elementary school they had a third party company doing lunches. So they would collect money in class for the day then make exactly that number of meals and no more. However, there was pretty much no supervision or tracking at lunch, so every day they would run out of meals before the line ran out and whoever was at the end of the line got a pb sandwich.
We got a peanut butter sandwich and a lecture to bring money in the future.
Every kid should be fed. Use my taxes and feed them little goblins for free at school.

Happened very literally every single day.
