Whoa, children whose families are food insecure can't just eat a filling breakfast to solve this situation. Even at schools that serve free breakfast, the kids may get hungry because the breakfasts (bowl of cereal, honeybun, or yogurt) aren't that filling.

Food in security is a concern for HHS not schools. Schools are for education and they already provide Breakfast and Lunch.

If they're that food insecure they're also not sending in snacks, idiot.

Before covid, snack in K, after covid, no snack even in K. Both kids survived. Just provide a big breakfast, they will be fine.
