Shouldn’t every state do something similar? One of my personal views I support is feeding every student in school. Something like 30 million kids in the US are malnourished underfed or starving. In the “richest & most powerful” country in the world, that is just cruel and unacceptable.
Also, I think possibly an important thing to is to make it universal. You don't need to apply or ask for a free lunch. Everyone gets the same lunch for free. If you make way too much money you'll pay for it in taxes, but don't make kids stand out because they don't have the same access to resources. It isn't their fault and shouldn't be their problem to deal with.
That's how it is in my son's school here in California. He gets a free lunch every day (breakfast too, if we woke up early enough), even though we could pack him one. It's good to normalize it, I think.
Also, as a picky eater (still) I probably would have benefitted from not being able to pick what I want to eat, though knowing me I still would have rather starved than eat stuff that I have textural issues with.
