Thanks, that makes sense. I guess I should have mentioned but you probably figured out , that I live in a country (NZ) where (most?) schools don't provide lunches.

Now that you mention the cost angle I think I've heard of some schools providing free .. breakfast? For kids who show up hungry. But this was specifically a social aid program and not something that was designed/funded to be used by a majority of students.

Respectfully, you don’t understand how bad things are for the average American.

Neither does the average American. We are a nation of temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

Until our government murdered the leaders and then took the idea because it was so popular.
