another, unspoken aspect of this story is that the school system is protecting the union sensitivities of the local food service providers, at least in the case of the Chicago ban.

And what? Force them to eat rectangle pizza and fries? I mean, I thought when someone took a kid's lunch from them at school, they were called a bully.

looks like it. Part about taking them was somewhere else

At Claremont Academy Elementary School on the South Side, officials allow packed lunches but confiscate any snacks loaded with sugar or salt. (They often are returned after school.)

of course the kids are getting a good, healthy lunch right?

At Little Village, most students must take the meals served in the cafeteria or go hungry or both. During a recent visit to the school, dozens of students took the lunch but threw most of it in the garbage uneaten.

This is actually just a corollary on a long Western tradition extending down from Plato.

Of course, from my perspective, address the externalities in the food production pyramid and the rest will sort itself out....
