<![CDATA[The Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) Program is a strategic state policy aimed at addressing nutritional needs, improving human resources, and promoting social welfare. This study examines its legitimacy through natural law, legal positivism, utilitarianism, and Pancasila legal philosophy. Using normative legal research with philosophical, statutory, and conceptual approaches, the study employs literature review and qualitative normative analysis. The MBG Program possesses substantial philosophical legitimacy by promoting the protection of life, human dignity, legality, legal certainty, social utility, and distributive justice.
