It’s entirely possible. Colorado paid for the school lunch program using federal dollars. It didn’t cost extra. [/quote]

This isn’t any better than what we offer in this area. These are all processes frozen food. That might then be cooked on site but by no means is anything on this menu great. [/quote]

Umm no. They cook everything on site and the food isn’t processed. You must know nothing about school lunches if you haven’t heard of Ann Cooper. [/quote]

Are you crazy? Did you actually look at the pictures of the food they are serving? "cook on site" means, they are getting the frozen food and cooking it on the site.  It doesn't mean they are slow roasting chicken!
Fried chicken patty with waffle?  That's plenty processed.  Hot Dog, baked beans, frozen mixed veggies? processed.  Tortilla chips, taco meet, corn, cheese? processed.
I have seen each of these items on the menus of our local schools.
And many local schools have salad bars.
And all give out fresh fruit.  
While they may have taken pretty pictures of their school lunches, they aren't serving anything better than our local school cafeterias.
