I think that's a hellafa lot of burden to place on already over worked
school districts. Although I have fond memories of cooked from scratch
lunchroom food. We might have pooh-poohed it, but i think for the most
part it was acceptable by most. It wasn't all that long ago (a couple
of generations?) that people were assumed to feed themselves and their
kids (or not as the case may be) and schools weren't all in the food
business.
