I have to agree with Angeline - vegan options would be an improvement given the fact that the kids are getting tons of carbs in that food - their high carb diet would allow the saturated fats and trans-fats to do the maximum damage. Vegan choices would be likely be lower in at least saturated fats.

I'm sorry, but I've cooked some really bad vegan meals in the past as far as trans fats (margarine) and high-glycemic foods go (potatoes). Just because it's vegan, doesn't mean it will be anywhere near healthy. Especially, since if you just go by no meat products, you open the door to all sorts of processed carbs -- and the schools won't be putting out vegan food that follows the spirit of that WOE, it's too expensive.
