Well, it's simply that "bad" food is cheaper and easier. Kids in UK primary schools are fed lunch at around 35p per child. Kind of sickening, really. A 35g bag of doritos at my local store is 45p.

I don't know what the solution is. Apparently, in that "Jamie Oliver's School Dinners" show (can't remember exact name), where he sets out to feed children healthy school dinners, parents smuggled in burgers and chips for their kids to eat instead of the healthy food. :/
