I understand that completely. However, don't you feel it should be our ultimate goal to instill healthy values on our children so they can fashion their own choices and filter out the bad influences that are outside of our control?
I know it's hard, because you can only relay so much information when kids are young and developing, but if there is a problem with what the schools are feeding kids, why not pack them their lunch? Teach them to make a healthy lunch at home. Teach them to go outside and get some exercise with friends after school. Hop on your bike, play some soccer, etc.
I'm not a parent, obviously, so I am just speaking in speculation.
