pretty sure the labor of validating all the applications, surveyling who does and does not get the food, and pushing for the othering of people who have applications as well as those who doesn’t but still get the food, is gonna cost more than the actual food, being mostly transportation, cooking and cleaning.
Provide it free to anyone who wants it, not means tested. They just have to apply, which will be easy to do via the school.
I’m sure a bunch of less needy will apply, but at the state level, this will save millions

Governments operations are wasteful, I agree. I bet if we sat down together, we could come up with a good system in half a day.
may as well be a culture shock that the idea of restricting food access to people is in any way appealing to you at all.
