Like others, I do not see the problem with the lunches being free in public schools
Nothing is free. So, why should the taxpayer subsidize it? That's the question.
In your opinion, why shouldn't parents be responsible for feeding their kids lunch?

It seems strange to me that we are going to spend $10,000 plus per student per year on education, and fret over $200 in lunch costs (and probably a lot lower than that once you remove the compliance costs).
Nothing is free... this is true. Sometimes, we as a society decide that we would rather collectively pay for something, to ensure a certain standard is met.

They are responsible for ensuring their kids get fed. Just like they are responsible for ensuring their kids go to school.
To accomplish that, they can go the private route or they can go the public route.
