... There is no such thing as a free lunch

There ought to be, for those, especially children, who
need it, though.

Around here, there are free lunches available for kids, practically
year-round, and for certain school children also free breakfast during
the school year... I'm sure it's low-income based... There's also free
or low-cost meals for seniors at some of the senior centers....

But at some level, the saying is still true, since somebody has to pay
for providing the lunches and all.... I think the original thought was
that even things that seem to be free would have a catch, or some sort
of strings attached.... :)
