> The per-student cost of all of this was ~$35 American.

That’s 10x what most schools charge in the USA.

Apologies - I left out some words in my comment. The meal-per-student cost was roughly $1.70 a day. The $35 figure was for the month.

and 100× what it costs to prepare a healthy sack lunch. i suspect the '$35' figure is wildly wrong or in mexican pesos or something

You're right. Apologies for the error. The correct figure per day is ~$1.70. $35 was for a month's worth of meals.

aha, that sounds quite plausible!
