Original Note:
China has a free school meals program in many areas: (https://news.cgtn.com/news/2020-09-26/Ten-years-on-the-launch-of-China-s-free-lunch-campaign-U69VLPdlSM/index.html) The "social credit" system has nothing to do with whether or not kids can eat, it is mostly focused on businesses that do not comply with regulations: (https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/09/15/china-social-credit-system-authoritarian/). US/western schools are also using facial recognition, e.g.: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/06/business/facial-recognition-schools.html
