CMV: Schools should have to provide a quality lunch, free of charge to all students.

School's are a government run institution, designed for the betterment of it's students.

As such it's only fair that schools should provide a free, quality lunch for it's pupils. 
For three primary reasons: 

1. It seems only logical that a public institution that mandates the pupils be there for an upwards of 7 hours feed them.

2. If you want to curb obesity, 

3. Not all students can afford to bring a quality meal to school, have the money to buy one, or have the time to make one in the morning.

As a person who just graduated highschool last year in the USA, the school lunches were expensive ($3) and crap, i knew many children whose lunch would consist of chips, candy, and soda, and refused to buy lunch either because they didn't' want to spend the money, or because the lunch was poor in quality.

Change my view.

If the school lunches were poor in quality when people were paying $3 for them, what kind of quality do you expect when they are to be given out for free?

And assuming they are given out for free, how do you plan to cover the cost? 

I don't know how many people are in school right now in the US, wikianswers seems to think 75 million between nursery and college. I'll take the number as 50 million. That's 50 million children who need to have a free lunch provided, if the lunch costs $4 to get the ingredients to the school and then pay people to make/serve it, that's up to $200m a day on lunches. Even if only half the school population were to eat these lunches, it would still take only 2 weeks of school to blow 1 billion dollars on free lunches.

It's just not cost effective.
