    I can’t say you’re wrong, I just think theres a line between can and can’t removes discretion. Given the budget and produce to make nice healthy meals, the school hopefully try to get kids healthy food. But sometimes a sad kid needs an oreo, or a kid needs shelf stable food to eat over the weekend, let the locals do it and not ban all garbage food.

      I get what you mean. you essentially are talking about a cheat meal right? somewhat of reward, or dose of happiness in sorrow. Problem is that oreo (for example) are what i would like to call bandaid on a gun wound in this situation. it is not really going to help, them, and all they get is a sugar high. Instead, if they are given a apple, with similar or higher sugar content, it still gives sugar, but has fiber and some vitamins.

      Your pointt on food not spoiling is very valid, and they would have to decide what is the optimal food which is reasonably shelf stable.
