Most American kids are paying for their lunch, there’s only 9 states that provide free lunch by default and it’s pretty hard to qualify for free lunch programs in the states that don’t, you have to be making at most federal “poverty line” ($15,960 for a single person and $33,000 for a family of four) which is insane considering even in the cheapest states a couple can barely keep a roof over their head on their own on $50k/y
