A study of the Swedish school lunch program found that

exposure to the school lunch program had substantial effects on educational attainment and health and these effects can explain a large part of the return to school lunches.

… and …

pupils exposed to the program during their entire primary school period have 3 percent greater life-time earnings.

If this is administered well in Canada, with fresh nutritious food, I’m all for it.

Ultimately, the root cause is poverty and food insecurity, so this is a band aid solution. However it can do a lot of good in the meantime if they work with Dietitians of Canada to properly implement it.
