but will they deliver.

I just get worried about the quality of the food that kids might get.

eg, IIRC in the US, pizza is classed as a vegetable ...

Do you have to be a student to get the free lunch

What, are you asking if a random adult can walk into school and be given a free lunch?

Ideally there would be a different building for it.

What, like a soup kitchen then? I think they do exist

This would be amazing if they could pull it off. Would take a burden off parents as well - don’t have to keep track of lunch items, make lunch, drag lunchboxes out of bags, wash them etc.

Great leveller as well if the kids doing it tough get the same food as everyone else.
