I dont understand why you have schools feeding kids? its bizarre, the kids should either bring money to school for canteen or bring their own lunches to school

  In my country, school lunch cost 60 euro per month, down to 0 depending on your family (so, whn i was younger, my mother was a nurse making 15k/yr on a 80% contract, alone with 3 children, it cost us 0€). One big advantage was the we only ate potatoes the evening, and had actual lunches the rest of the time (i'm partially joking, i remember one month after an issue with our car where we ate potatoes with butter for two weeks)

  In a significant number of places in the US a significant number of children are dependent on free school lunches. The lunches provide nutritional stability that the child may not receive at home. So much so that some places give lunches away even when school is not in session. For example, in New York City: https://www.schools.nyc.gov/school-life/food/summer-meals https://www.schools.nyc.gov/school-life/food/summer-meals

  The reason is that there is a lot of food insecurity in the US. Kids regularly go hungry. There isn’t necessarily food to bring from home, nor money to pay for things purchased at school. My husband is a teacher and keeps snacks in his room for kids who didn’t get anything to eat that day.
