The children and their parents still have the option to bring their owned sack lunch with whatever contents they so choose. The schools just will no longer be facilitating the distribution of unhealthy foods on their end.
If school's decide to take responsibility and restrict what they eat to a balance diet, since it's again, as you said, on school regulation, I don't see the problem with it at a shallow point. However if we are to have the government feel they have the responsibility to restrict our choices to certain standards to our diet (fda but on roids), then I feel by creating that standard we would also hurt the wholesalers.
I'm thinking beyond the school district as everyone is very accepting of this choice since it's overall a benefit, but, much like everything else, if the federal forces a blanket on us, it does hurt us in the long run.
