In part, I agree. But think back to the reasons government initiated the school food programs: because some kids were coming to school hungry or went through the day without lunch. In those days, most kids were not fat. Soon it was free food for all, and a new problem grew -- literally. Kids got fatter and fatter. Schools started getting money for putting in fast food restaurant menus. Simultaneously PE and similar activities were cut back; the school days got shorter, so breaks and recess were cut; after school programs were cut; and so on. The more the government gets involved in these things, the worse they get. Now, contrary to your suggestion, some schools won't permit homemade lunches -- deeming them unhealthy. Get gov't OUT!
