      Because not every state is the same, obviously.

      The federal government should be building and running this system.

        How exactly does the federal government get data on school demographics when the schools are run by individual states? Or should they just throw out money randomly and hope it’s enough?

          The federal government builds the infrastructure and systems for the schools to use so they can share this data. As it is the states need to all build their own to share this data with the federal government in order to get the funds for these meals.

            Why would the states accept the federal government doing such a thing? Isn’t that the federal government encroaching on their rights when it comes to deciding how education should be run in their states?

              Why would they do it? To help the children. The federal government already runs many services that the states use.

                    The government of Missouri doesn’t care about children, which is one of many reasons why they would tell the federal government to fuck off if they tried that. What reality do you live in?
