And it's unfortunate that kids will be associating healthy eating with the cheap, low quality, terrible food that is a school lunch.
I disagree on the first part = 1 out of 3 healthy meals a day is pretty significant - it won't cure obesity, but it's a big step in the right direction.
Your second part is an excellent point I didn't think of. But obesity is primarily a function of too many calories and not enough exercise. Not to suggest junk calories aren't unhealthy, but their bigger issue is they don't fill us up and so we eat more calories.
