What matters the most is who gets to decide which lunch the children eat.

I say the parents should.

Those who think it is the governments decision to make, for the safety of our children, they should be thrown off a high cliff into the sea.

Growing up my siblings and I had almost entirely packed lunches consisting of a tuna or peanut butter & jelly sandwich, carrot sticks, apple or orange and purchased milk.

One day my lunch got mixed up with that of our fattest classmate. Her lunch was a bologna sandwich, chips and cookies.

She looked in my lunch bag and scowled at it. So some parents obviously do a better job with lunches but the government has no business making up lunches according to Moochie’s standards.

This is like the school regulations that say all kids have to get milk - even the lactose intolerant.
Or that all kids must take 2 fruits and veggies, even if they won’t eat it.

BINGO! And why exactly are people being paid at the federal level to intervene in what kids eat? at the state and local level?? Kids will eat or not eat whatever lunch they are provided, home or school; they will trade; they will throw away. If they have money, they will buy snacks they want. Get real, federal-es!
