Check into what school lunches can get away with and be approved still

Pizza bars, as long as there is 1 slice of pepperoni. Cookies, muffins and candies for meals.

My son goes to head start where they have USDA approved meals. They do good with getting fruits in, and occasional veggies. there is alot of juice, muffins, cereals, and for treats there can be cake, poptarts, cookies, or a second muffin.

In all fairness they did lose thier cook so the director was filling in for a while. It still depresses me though what can be considered healthy meals. High school lunches get even worse, and vending machines with junk food abound. Then they make the kids sit in desks with no breaks (In some grade schools they are even stopping recess as it takes away from learning) and wonder why so many seem to have attention problems.
