Whether kids eat or not is up to them, as some have stated. Also, whether kids will be overweight or not is largely up to them and their family. So, you might ask, why should the schools serve healthy lunches? I think it's a good idea for schools to not set a bad example; instead they should try to set a good example.
Everything that happens in school teaches a lesson to young impressionable minds. Hopefully, the English teacher speaks proper English etc.. So why should food be any different? Schools should serve proper, healthy, whole foods so kids might learn good from bad.
If kids want to bring their own lunch, that's fine. In that case it's the parents that will take responsibility for their kids.
