Michelle, I completely agree with what you are doing and applaud you for it (I am a product of the District 65/202 system and hope to be a parent of children in it one day.) As you know, the school has strong incentives to do what they are doing. They aren't serving these food options out of ignorance. They key is to change these incentives. One way to do that is to influence the regulatory regime under which they work. Another complementary method is to change parents' views: get parents to want the school lunches to be better. Make parents realize that if they want better options, it is going to cost something. I haven't read this entire thread, so I apologize if I missed this. But I wonder what steps are being taken to influence parents, in addition to influencing the schools.
