As a Swede i think your system in the Netherlands sounds so foreign. When I was in school we always had 2 hot meals to chose between and a 'salad bar's. All paid for by the tax system. No one should ever be forced to go hungry imo.
In NL most people don't even eat hot lunches on a regular basis. Even at work people just bring sandwiches in most Dutch companies unless they are internationally focussed.
Nobody should go hungry, but I don't see the appeal or need for a centralised food system. Pretty sure there is less food waste if you just give your childeren food from home.
Pretty bold to assume all kids have food at home.
Like I said in the original comment you didn't read the kids who haven't had food would generally been given food at school
That can easily lead to "othering" those kids as well. Also, many parents who can still give their kids food from home might still struggle to do that at times.
Schools are already monitoring a whole mess of kids at once. Why not just take care of feeding them too? That ensures that, regardless of what happens at home, they have at least one good meal each day.
