A better (i.e. less risky) approach is to have smaller administrative units (like states) deciding what to feed kids (assuming we can't find some way to not have the government, with its inherent ulterior pork-barrel motives, feeding children). Even if the odds of any given administrative unit making a bad choice are the same, we're at least very unlikely to malnourish every child in every administrative region.
