Hard to tell, but as a Norwegian growing up in the 70s, I know there was no such thing as school lunches, and if welfare recipients were too defective to feed their children, I think they would take the kids away from them, and rightfully so.
So that was an area where mainstream USA was to the left of Scandinavia, allowing defective parents to skimp on their responsibilities.
Lately I believe Norway has experimentaed with school lunches.
