Free school lunch for poverty level has existed for a while where I am. And if you're above the poverty bracket, yet still legally "poor", you get lunch for a reduced 30 cents. I remember fishing out nickels from the couch cushions and hoping to have enough for lunch that day. My family couldn't afford much back then, but at the very least, I had cheap school lunch, or something bagged from the previous day's leftovers. Yeah, it sucks that we're all probably taxed on those little kiddie lunches, but I'd much MUCH rather pay for taxes with that in mind, rather than consider that a bulk of my tax money is going to adults scamming the system for TANF/SNAP cards. Kids having food is important, and yeah it's bad that the parents can't provide, but that's not the kids' fault. They shouldn't be punished.
This is just personal experience, but for free breakfast, back when I was a kid, they'd hand out those packaged Smuckers PB&J frozen sandwiches. But, if a kid had a peanut allergy, they'd give them some of the fruit that we got free with lunch instead. It was always slightly off red delicious apples and small bananas, but at least it was something, and an alternative.but this little solution of giving kids a peanut butter and jelly sandwich isn't enough
