Before thinking about social engineering via taxation, how about banning

There's nothing wrong with offering a burger for lunch. Burgers are
good food. Seriously.

I thought the school lunch program was meant to subsidize those kids who
couldn't always afford a nutritious meal, and to make sure they got at
least one a day. To that end, there's no reason why said can't be
offered and made a tasty choice at the same time. That is, there's no
reason why inexpensive + nutritious has to equal "slop."

I'm with you that there's no excuse for candy & chip vending machines @
school, though. Who's idea was that, anyway? What problem were they
trying to solve?!

A "great" review is one with the name of the cigar before the review text
in the body of the post. :)
