It costs way, way less than $12/meal to deliver a healthy, quality, fixed-menu hot meal to a 100-400 people in the US. We could do it for $5/meal, maybe less. Still expensive, but not that expensive.
- jlmorton 4y agoI'm sure you're right. Maybe an easier way to describe the trade-off is to simply say every $1 spent on school lunches in the United States is about a $3,700 annual cost per classroom, and about ~$10 billion nationally.
- yamtaddle 4y agoRight, your broader point that it'd be a non-tiny expense is correct, the ballpark total was just far enough off (~double) from the highest remotely plausible figure we might conceivably spend on public school lunches that I thought it worth pointing out.
