Old Soul:
This is simply another case of the state deciding what is best for your or my child, taking it upon themselves, to decide that my children need the state to look after them. We are not talking about needy children, this covers all children enrolled in 4J, and another governmental program that will continue to need funding, no matter the waste. Something that most government entities excel at. Increased oversight, further employees, with corresponding benefit packages, etc. 
 The waste will be in the fact that they will have to have meals on hand for every student, even though a small number will be in need of that hand out. 
 Another government program looking to gain another sliver of control over the daily lives of the population.
