I thought poor families received EBT credits specifically to feed their dependent children. School lunch at public expense seems redundant.
I know a lot of poor people that had more than my working dad.
They do.
There are three classes of people going hungry in the US.
Abused children, abused seniors and people who are stuck in the morass of paperwork that you need to get on government assistance.
Sadly these are the three groups of people that no one in the government actually cares about.

EBT plus SNAP, plus WIC, plus ... plus...plus...
I had no problem cutting a check every month for my children to eat hot lunches at school. I’d usually drop $100+ per child per month.
My youngest ate free during COVID for almost 2 years.
I just waited until the program ended. Now, I’m back to writing checks again.
NOT only is it REDUNDANT—IMO—it is fraud.
I am convinced that the welfare people NEVER check with the schools to see what kids are getting 1-2 meals a day already.
“MOM” gets welfare for 4 kids-—4 kids are getting 20-40 meals a WEEK at school.
DOUBLE DIPPING at it’s finest.
