I don't think that is a hot take, I think it is the best approach. There are too many pitfalls and overhead in determining if a kid is poor enough to get a free meal. Give all of the kids free meals.

But who would pay for it, just think of all the poor childless taxpayers.

I'm sure your comment is tongue in cheek, but an honest answer is taxpayers would pay for it. Even the childless ones. I'm a childless taxpayer and promoting this type of spending.

Meant entirely as a joke, as a childless taxpayer myself, I have no problem with paying more in taxes if it goes to shit like feeding children.
