Taxes pay for the building, the heating, the electricity, the teacher salaries, the lunch tables, the trays, the cafeteria staff salaries...but also paying for the food so that all that other expense isn't wasted because the kids aren't paying attention is apparently too far
And that’s what gets me. Taxes pay for so much of that, and adding school lunch is a much smaller investment toward getting successful use out of those expensive resources. Even in utilitarian terms, free school lunch has a high return on investment.
And forget means testing: have you seen how cheap school lunches are per kid? How can you justify means testing and enforcement that will cost much more than just equal treatment no matter each kids financial circumstances
