This article has to do with the needed menu change for your kids public schools. He provides examples that prove eliminating junk food from menus would save the parents and schools money, therefore, allowing them to spend money on their education. But that of course comes to the question, can money solve our problem? Even though i dont believe healther menus will do the job, i do think it might help a little, and lets not forget childhood obesity is huge issue in our country right now as well.
