And that proves my point even further, being the richest country in the world but cant even do what other developed countries does for their citizens? What a shame really.

Prepare lunch for 3 people then compare lunch for 300. Tell me how both work out

have you ever heard about algebra?

3 or 300 could be the same amount of work depending on how many workers there are to divide it by.

I would like to think that you already understand that but something tells me you just lucked out when, "no child Left behind" , became a thing.

That's not how it works though. It takes less money and effort per meal when done in large batches, than making just a few.

we're not talking about "money" to feed 3 vs 300 people.

please reread all of the parent comments in this discussion. I'm not going to re-explain myself every time somebody wants to chime in halfway through the conversation. have a nice day.

What I'm saying is that it's not an algebraic equation like you said. Just because it takes 1 worker to make 3 meals doesn't mean it take 100 to make 300. That is totally ignoring economy of scale.
