Additionally, providing free school lunches can have long-term societal benefits. Healthy, well-nourished children are more likely to succeed academically, and better academic performance often translates into higher earnings later in life. This means that investing in children’s health today could help prevent future generations from falling into debt in the first place. Also, it could reduce healthcare costs in the long run, as children who grow up with access to proper nutrition are less likely to suffer from diet-related health problems, such as obesity or diabetes.
In contrast, paying off college debt does not guarantee that it will benefit society as a whole. While it would undoubtedly provide relief to many individuals, it does not solve the broader issue of economic inequality. Those who are most burdened by college debt often already possess skills and education that make them more employable, whereas children from low-income families, who may not even have the chance to go to college, are left behind.
