In Canada we don’t have school lunches and I’ve always found the concept ridiculous. Sending a lunch can be as simple as a sandwich with some fruit and veggies on the side. It’s cheap and takes about 5 minutes to make. Some people are trying to introduce school lunches now even though we already have a child benefit program which gives parents money specifically for this. To me it seems like it’s actually just a way to cover up the fact that millions of parents are child abusers who don’t feed their kids. I just can’t get around the idea that we’re enabling neglect.

Very few schools (if any) have a cafeteria that serves food. Everyone brings their lunch and it works well.
