What other response can I give to it? You literally just said 'if poor people can afford iphones they can afford school lunches"
since when do all 100% of poor people in this country own iphones? should we just take away free lunches for people who own iphones? what are you even trying to say here?
of course people could use that same 300$ that they spent on an iphone for school lunch for their kids, but how can you constitutionally enforce this new law that you're proposing? will the millions of poor kids who don't own iphones now starve because of a couple thousand who do?

Of course children shouldn't be punished for their parent's mistakes. But there has to be a better way to make sure kids aren't going hungry while at the same time not putting the burden on the taxpayers for their parents' poor habits.
Then you're just punishing everybody in the cases where people are on the program that don't really need it.

burden is a bit of an overstatement
the only way to enforce this issue is to either shorten the scope of the free lunch program, which will result in millions of families who legitimately cannot afford to dish out lunch money for children to lose the free lunch option, or check the families expenses, which would be entirely unconstitutional.
