Then name the country not all of Europe because you’re objectively wrong. I also grew up in Europe and we didn’t get meal tokens, if you want to go on the eu website they have various things explaining their school food programs and the current state of play.
As for you not knowing any Europeans that wouldn’t abhor the concept of parents paying for school meals you’re almost certainly mistaken, look at polling data we’re not living in a socialist utopia and pretending like we are only benefits right wing political parties
