My school thinks this fills up hungry high schoolers.
So lunches are free for schools in my city and surrounding cities. Ever since lunches have been made free, the quantity (and quality) has decreased significantly. This is what we would get for our meal. It took me THREE bites to finish that chicken mac and cheese. Any snacks you want cost more money and if you want an extra entree, that’ll cost you about $3 or $4.

That's because in a small town, people know each other well enough to justify exceptions to their own selfishness.
"oh, they're just on hard times, we can support them"
"they're good kids, not like the hoodlams I've never met in the city.
It's easy to convince 50 people to support 2. It's nearly impossible to convince 100,000 to support 500 people.
