I'm for small government so yes, I want less state. But school lunches is definitely one of the last things that should be cut. Since I'm fairly certain that in real world we're never going to cut or fix the hundreds of things that are more wrong than publically funded school lunches, in practical terms I'm not advocating against them.

That said, just because school lunch is publically funded aka "free" does not necessarily make it good. https://www.edweek.org/leadership/healthier-school-lunches-may-have-curbed-childhood-obesity-new-study-finds/2023/06 -- but again, that's a detail problem that can be fixed (like it was here) without dropping that practice altogether.

And as for the other items in zargotext's list, I pretty much agree with them too. But also excessive regulation, market distortions of every kind, poor educational systems, bureacracy.

If the context is USA, it's an old country in modern terms. A lot of cruft has accumulated in 300 years and it's not getting better. Ditto for many others.
