There is no way a black bean salad even comes close to 750/850 calories and there are many better more kid friendly choices that can be made that children will enjoy.
Yes resoruces may be limited but have one normal and one healthy option on offer is NOT going to blow resources out of the water. Its easy to have staff working on two simple meals choices each day for kids. And if you still claim that providing two meals choices is a great strain on school resources then they should offer a normal choice as opposed to healthy or unhealthy as it represents the middle ground.
And if they cant let the fast food chains come in and offer what they've got. Then the government wont be contributing to obesity and kids have a choice rather than facing only the healthy option.
Yes it would be great if healthy foods tasted great and were cheap but that isnt the case and kids are kids and arnt eating it.
PS: I went to a public school myself and they offered as much as 8 meals choices per day. Some were healthy and some were unhealthy and most occupied the middle ground. So offering at least one normal menu option per day is easily feasable for any public school. And if schools cant afford that much then we have much bigger problems to worry about.
