    Sad that this is even a thing. The richest nation on earth should be able to give its future 2 square meals a day.

      But that would set them up with unreasonable expectations for adulthood! Gotta prepare them for their future of struggling to get by.

      School lunch debt is the so incredibly dystopian that I hope 20-30 years from now people will have to use an internet search to find out what it meant to people in this decade. Like it’s so unabashedly wrong as a thing, I hope we look at like when Bayer made heroin and bloodletting was in practice.
