Good point. Maybe the parents are incompetent, in one way or another, and we should get them into an improvement program. Maybe every poor neighborhood should have a breakfast cafeteria before school. Maybe underfed kids should have a social worker visit every morning with a bowl of cereal. Maybe the parents should be jailed, given electroconvulsive therapy, or whipped until they get jobs and start feeding and clothing their children.

A great place to feed school children is where you have them all together. That would be at school. Probably that would be the cheapest solution. Kids can be very picky, so feed them whatever crap they will eat, it's better than nothing. Underperforming children may become underperforming adults who would cost the rest of us money for the rest of their lives, so feeding kids seems like a good investment.

Would the Libertarian position be, to keep govt out of it and let them starve? That's liberty?
