Tbh, the way schools run is more akin to communism than capitalism. That food is trash because the school cafeteria isn't competing with anyone else.
The food is trash because its supplied by a competitive process that try’s to minimise cost.
Cafeteria competes with other prospective suppliers of cafeterias, but the children have no agency in who supplies that cafeteria. Only the local authority or whoever runs the school gets to choose.
Minimizing cost doesn't work in a competitive environment because everyone will go to the competition that makes better stuff. The children have no agency to pick a different cafeteria.
You're smoking the bad stuff dude. Quit picking sides and start looking at the mechanisms.
You think you can do better?
Not only can I do better, but I literally have done better with the men's shelter on Gest St in Cincinnati.
Edit: This isn't relevant anyhow. We're talking about economic systems.
