Should teenagers and children determine what they eat for lunch?

the assertion that schools should supply awful foods to children is just bullshit. they have an obligation to provide healthy and nutritious foods to the children. why in the world would they provide foods that are essentially harming the child??
if they dont want to eat it or if their parents dont want them eating it. then the parents can provide something else. schools shouldnt cater to stupidity .

Nobody's saying that they should supply awful food, just that they should supply good-tasting food, preferably of a range of different nutritious values.
