Sounds good but it’s like giving kids food they don’t like at school lunch. It winds up in the trash. In that sense its a way to cut the $ given as $ which is a step in the right direction.
Well perhaps you have a database where they can select preferences and dislikes. They just can’t select the ribeyes and lobster. But you could deselect pork and lima beans, and indicate a preference for shrimp and brussel sprouts. Computer does the rest.
And they have to have a balanced nutrition. And if you select something more expensive you get less of something else.
Shouldn’t be that hard to put together.
It’s not quite the same as the school lunch scenario, because the kids can go home and get something better.
But if it’s all you got, you eat it.
So what are the kids going to do, not eat?
