The parents might be doing the best they can. Programs need to be applied for. Paperwork can be lost or delayed. Food banks need knowledge. There are an infinite number of reasons parents are unable to feed their children that don't involve removal from household. But in the meantime while paperwork is being resolved and parents educated, the kid should have food if they're hungry at school. Kids who don't need it and take it anyways is a much smaller problem than kids who need food and are going hungry. That's just a problem in teaching a child how to have a healthy relationship with food, which is much easier to build when the child doesn't experience food insecurity.

"Kids who don't need it and take it anyways is a much smaller problem" Unless it leads to obesity and life long medical issues. "There are an infinite number of reasons parents are unable to feed their children that don't involve removal from household." Again, let's fix the root causes instead of creating duplicated effort on solving something thay should be fixed under existing systems. If youre saying the exising systems are failing so badly that we need a new system, then how can I trust this one will be different and better? I don't think infinite is a acceptable description.
