I never actually got the point of this stuff... I mean healthy food is both cheaper... and well healthy.

So why do they go out of the way to make school meals garbage?

Sure Kid's aren't going to enjoy eating meals that are largely lentils and/or Rice as much, but hell, they can bring unhealthier food if they want then.

Subsidies and regulations. Did you watch Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution? He went into the heard of the Los Angeles school district to try to get them to embrace healthier foods. No one on the council wanted it, because the government and corporations were giving them subsidies to serve horrible foods.

Comparatively, look at private schools: They have no regulations nor subisidies, and the result is much better, healthier food.
