    I haven't read the book in the linked article, but I think there are legitimate ways to address the privacy issue: one, which we've asked to be considered in the reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act, is to eliminate "competitive foods" entirely (that is, foods that don't meet guidelines for NSLP) instead of requiring that they be served in a different location - which is being done in many districts already. Your aunt's principal was right - the separate cafeterias, IMO, are a real problem - check upthread.

    Another is to offer a blind accounting system (handled somewhat clumsily but simply in our district by assigning each child an account number and asking parents to pay for lunches in advance; lunch money is collected during first period.) If you wanted to figure out which kids got free lunch, you'd have to make a guess based solely on how often they get a hot lunch (I know some free lunch kids who frequently pack lunches.)
