I have the “radical”, “Communist” opinion that if you’re going to demand somebody stay in the same place for 6+ hours you should feed them.
From a purely logistic standpoint, requiring each parent to provide food for their child is an embarrassingly inefficient process. Every part of feeding people benefits massively from an economy of scale!
Broad nutritional decisions can be made by a professional, instead of thousands of busy parents with varying levels of nutritional education and understanding
Procurement and preparation of food can be done on an industrial scale, permitting the use of equipment that would be impractical for preparing single-child portions, and would be prohibitively expensive for families, and allowing the work to be done by a handful of dedicated chefs instead of–once again–thousands of busy adults
Distribution would occur in close proximity to preparation, in a situation where the children are already gathered in one place, instead of relying on the most ridiculous supply line I’ve ever heard of: dividing the food into meal-sized portions and entrusting each to one of thousands of children for transportation
If we want to come at it from a position of Christianity, feeding those he taught was something Jesus saw as worth the working of a miracle on a couple occasions
