    Not only that, but research in one state showed that every dollar spent on meal programs added 7 to the economy. Moreover, it leads to better education outcomes, which leads to better financial outcomes, which leads to more taxes for the government. Granted, that last one will take at least 12 years to pay off.

    There is no good moral or economic reason to not have meal programs, which makes one wonder why they insist on doing it. The only ones I can think of are spite, malice, or power.
