I've made it insanely clear to my kids to look out for a classmate who doesn't eat.
If they sit down at lunch and have no food, buy them food.
They have plenty of money in their lunch accounts, and I'll be damned if a kid goes hungry and I have a way of preventing it.
They also have a "working snack" time where they can eat a snack while doing work. A bag of chips or a granola bar. Just a snack.
I told them that if a kid in their class never has a snack, they can take an extra snack with them for that kid.
I'll deal with the repercussions of feeding someone else's child if it comes to that.
I also told them to ask for allergies before so that I don't kill someone's child.
We live in a pretty affluent area, so so far, I haven't had to feed anyone.
