One real basic thing to consider is if the kid would actually EAT some baked lentil chips and humus...oops...I mean cardboard with mud dip, with some unsweetened prune juice to wash it down.
The main idea is for the kids to EAT the food....before their bodies can derive needed calories/nutrients from it. And that the parents' job.

If I could be sure that none of my tax dollars are going to pay for them (many who are overweight and obese) to be on food stamps and medicaid, I'd be on board with their freedom to eat junk food. Sadly, that's not the case.
We're always paying in one way or another. We pay for the food stamp program and overweight/obese parents can buy junk food and put it in their kid's lunchbox. Then that same obese family (with multiple health issues due to being overweight) could be on Medicaid and we pay again.
Where's my freedom not to have to pay for the junk food they buy with my tax dollars? When the tax police come to my door to confiscate some of my earnings, will you stand up for my freedom too?
