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.
What standard? What standard isn't being met that will now be met?
It really sounds like you are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Parents certainly can and do feed their kids, right?

Perhaps you have missed all of the recent stories about lunch shaming and kids running up huge "debts" on the lunch program because the parents can't / won't send money.
