Typical response of a clueless civil servant: the government pays for it, so we should take advantage of it. Sadly, all government programs are ultimately paid for by the taxpayer. If the free breakfast program is expanded to all, that means that the hard earned money of a working class family may be used to pay to feed the child of a family who could easily afford to feed him or her.

My two cents: we shouldn't have school lunch or breakfast programs at all. If a family can't afford to feed their child, then additional money should be provided in food stamps or other benefits. Under no circumstance, however, should society step in and take a responsibility-- in this case preparing food for children-- that is best addressed by the parents. 

If a parent can't handle the responsibility of feeding a child, perhaps it is time for child services to step in,
