That's because, despite having supported the HHFKA's passage back in 2010, the SNA is now fighting vigorously to roll back in Congress many of the law's key nutritional requirements — and it is doing so on the grounds that kids are allegedly
rejecting healthier school food en masse.
Even the

one challenge
school food reform has is that when menu changes (with
healthier ingredients or scratch cooking) participation goes down (kids
reject the taste), and that doesn't provide the budget to maintain the changes.
I have a theory that one reason kids
reject more
healthy options when they are offered for
school lunch is that when they get home their parents still feed them chicken nuggets, thus reinforcing the idea that kid
food is different from adult
food, and the
healthier options are not kid
food.
