My wife has been a school kitchen manager for a number of years. Lunch debt is such bullshit. We funded free school meals for all students for a year during covid and it cost $10 billion. We could have funded school lunches for many years just with what we've sent to the Ukraine. We don't have it because we have no way to influence the people we elect to do the things we value. It is clearly not something our elected representatives value.
While I'm definitely in favour of funding school lunches, and agree it should be trivial to find that in the budget, you need to understand that kids can't eat the aging military equipment that's being sent to help Ukraine defend themselves, crippling a hostile dictatorship with equipment that would otherwise mostly be scrapped.
