Yeah I have never understood this one.

I took a packed lunch to school almost every day. Later on I packed it myself. If I wanted the canteen had hot meals. Sometimes if you forgot your lunch they would give you 1 meal on credit.

IIRC there's a program in the absolute poorest aboriginal communities to provide free hot lunches at school, because it nearly guarantees attendance and works towards defeating malnutrition. I dont think yanks are that hard up yet but who knows.

Somehow the yanks are constantly demanding free lunches like there's no alternative or workaround?
