Last year there was plenty in the news about Jamie Oliver and his 'Feed me better' campaign.
This year, there's almost nothing about school food in the news. From what I remember, he got plenty of politicians to make distinctly qualified promises to improve school food and, sadly, was pretty much fobbed out and 'politicked' into beliveing that he'd acheived something.
Today, after reading an article online about the same problem in America, it made me wonder what food is on offer in schools throughout the UK:

This would be a great place for anyone who finds it to let us know what food is on offer in your kids school and whether you think it's good enough. So, if you've just found your way here from the front page, Google or an email from a friend, please sign up - it's free and we don't give out your details to *anyone* else.

Taking it to the extreme, though, is this service in the US:
https://www.mealpayplus.com/
As reported in Newsweek, parents can use MealPayPlus to prepay their childrens' school lunches and even specify what they can and cannot buy with the money.
The point of healthy eating for kids is that you want them to *understand* why they should eat certain foods, not begrudge it and force themselves to do it, or go behind your backs.
