I don't think 100% is realistic. Most parents I know prefer to do their own school lunches, to ensure their kids needs are being met. But some parents simply run out of money to provide lunches, and where that gets in the way of kids learning then I think it is a social responsibility to provide for them. Making them available to all certainly overcomes the shaming thing, but there are better ways to do that within school antibullying programmes.
It's the same as superannuation. It should be provided on the basis of need, not just age. We need to take care of our vulnerable ones, and let those who can take care of themselves, just as we do within the public health system by having alternative private health insurance for those who choose it.
