other than eating fair traded organic vegatables, and fruits, everything else is processed with some of the above. yea i dont know how they are going to clarify it. also by the way celery and any celery related products naturally have high amounts of nitrates in them. or offering cooked meat, which is expensive.
they should be more concerned about giving enough calories to last the whole school days, rather than worrying about which foods is not good. most students dont have access to free lunches in general, or breakfast.
california has made school lunches free regardless of family income for a few years already. So thats not a problem given the context of the state in question.
