The federal school lunch program is predicated on income. That's basically all it is, a system for providing funds to schools with low income students.

It comes with things like minimum standards for the meals, but I don't think it comes with a limit on how much food each student can be served.

Every school in Iowa has a lunch program, even the wealthiest. Its subsidized of course, but for everybody. True low income can get you a waiver, like many other government programs, but the lunch is available to all.

There is absolutely a limit on food.
