I don't see what's wrong with pizza and some fresh fruit and salad to choose or not choose. Whenever adults mandate what kids are to eat, they will choose the opposite because it's THEIR choice.

Government mandating what schools are to offer is another set of bureaucratic make-work jobs that pretend "it's about the children".

Let the district parents and food service decide what's offered and leave it at that!
School itself is government mandated: There's a dress code and behavior code among others. Why should food be any different? The whole thing is bureaucratic from top to bottom.
