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
