USDA to ban "Junk Food"

At least for me, it's the fact that, once again, parents are having their jobs done for them because they're so awful at it. We don't do anything to stop parents from being awful.

We're blaming the food for the kids being overweight, but it's not the food's fault, it's the parents' fault.

And in reality, is changing the school cafeteria menu REALLY going to do anything? No. The kids who overeat/eat the wrong things will just go home and continue to do what they always do. The kids that get prepared lunches where it's the wrong kinds of foods will have the same issues. Changing one meal in three will do nothing.

Hell, at least when I was in school, the kids that had problems didn't even get those problems from school lunches.

The problem is that the parents are not being parents.

Conversely, kids who do eat healthy at home, are currently being sabotaged by greasy, starchy school lunches and snacks.

Other than completely cancelling the whole "school lunch" idea and making all children bring a packed lunch from home, I don't know how to leave both the responsibility and power in the parents' hands.
