I think this is all a scam in order to make students pay for "school lunches". It is usually republican politicians who have the ties to the companies who provide school lunches. They are trying to force students to buy their junk which is not healthy and which probably costs a lot more!

Also what if someone is vegetarian?! I have been vegetarian since my last to years of high school and I wonder if the schools would have forced me to eat meat if I was attending today.
