yes, it very much is. plenty of school age children go hungry, and the school district I used to work for had a major program to make sure poor kids and "Children in transition" (i.e. homeless) were fed at least a good breakfast and lunch.

Given the direction of public school funding, and the sentiment of MAGA shitheels, I expect the problem to worsen.
