Why is the best way not "provide a healthy meal (or two) in a centralized way"?

Cafeterias can produce healthy meals efficiently and cheaply, compared to distributing that labor to every parent.

And then you don't need to monitor kids for parents not providing meals, which eliminates a whole cost.

And worst of all, no kids should have to not eat because their parents fucked up. It sets them so far behind. Every meal a kid misses is a failure on all of us.
