I don't think America is capable of doing anything competently at this current moment. They would probably wind up partnering with McDonald's or something.

Arguably the current contract partners for school lunches are far worse than mcdonalds.

Under the Constitutional principle "Promote the General Welfare" it would seem to make sense to ensure that children are fed.
“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

They will be fed by their parents,  the question here is if we institute state feeding, we breach the control barrier whereby citizens are indoctrinated into service.

If they're entitled to free food, what control do we have.

If people weren't poor,  why join the military? what good is offering free college, if they're entitled to free college.

Identical situation.  This is a control measure.   Which is better?


The media is not allowed to ask that question,  the media is only allowed to propagandize red vs blue,  when in reality neither blue nor red industrialists want free food.
