A little context: In the United States, subsidized school lunches started in 1946 as a welfare program – but one focused on the welfare of farmers, not schoolchildren. The primary purpose was to help farmers get rid of – I mean, distribute generously – their surplus production.
介绍一点背景：在美国，受补贴的校园餐始于1946年，这是一项福利计划——但最初的关注点是农民福利，而不是学生福利。这项计划的主要目的是帮助农民处理掉——我是说，慷慨地送出——多出来的产量。
