Healthier lunch on school menu: Trouble on the Tray

Good morning all. I was reading USA today as i was enjoying yet another hotel continental breakfast this morning and there was an article talking about a bill approved to improve the safety and nutritional value of food served at schools. The bill will allow for schools to get RID of the junk food. Well it allows them to get rid of it, but will they actually take a positive step forward and DO it? I certainly hope so, they get enough junk food without eating it in the educational environment too.
I wonder how many parents will actually object to the bill, citing their children have rights too. The childhood obesity rate just keeps rising, maybe this will chip away at it just a bit.
