While reddit is an echo chamber, there are some worthwhile points.The issue has to be fixed but there is clearly some politicking going on and not only from the opposition. Teachers are predominantly left wing voters.

What is being lost in the school lunches debate is the core
requirement for parents to feed their children properly. If they do
not or cannot do this then the rational option is to go down the path
with parents who neglect their children, rather than plug the gaps
with school lunches and the associated costs of provisioning,
distribution (both to and within schools) and the associated admin.
Also being lost in this debate is the option of children being
supplied with a better lunch by their parents or guardians. Eating a
school lunch that the state provides is never compulsory.
The current school lunch program does need to be corrected - but from
the point of view of value for taxpayer spending first (we taxpayers
are paying for and not getting the contracted service), but the
ultimate goal is to eliminate school pupils coming to school without
being properly fed by their parent/guardian.
