Through 2022 as part of COVID-19 relief the federal government provided funding for state universal free lunch programs. Massachusetts, Nevada, and Vermont have supported universal free lunches through this school year and California, Colorado, and Maine and have made it permanent. Several states including Missouri have introduced bills to extend universal free lunches. Missouri currently has two pending bills: HB 172 and SB 321.
HB 172:

As of yet it appears to be back to normal in the state.

Only day nurseries / kindergartens offer free meals to all children.
You can't get food in schools here, neither for free nor paid. You have to bring your own food.
Universities have cafeterias with very very cheap food. You can eat a while meal with 2$.

Looks less despicable than every other occurences ive seen of American school meals. However Michael Moore's documentary was a bit of a fairy tale and disingeneous, he wanted to proove a point that even if income tax is higher here, we don't pay for a lot of things (allegedly because the US overbudgets military). He takes as an example one poor neighborhood (you can tell by the diversity) where everything is a handout, but school meals are not free in France.
