I think it's a good idea to feed children in America, for the numerous reasons stated above.
Because... what are the alternatives? Let's look at a couple of real world examples:
Government or NGO sponsored: Syrian refugees, set up camps to house and feed those unable to provide food and shelter for themselves?
Free Market: Brazilian Favelas, lawless shanty towns?
Neither sounds like a better solution than providing lunch to a hungry student in Pahoa. Perhaps the people in charge of determining how many lunches to provide should sit in on a math class or two. Or does school attendance fluctuate that much from one day to the next?
