Michelle Obama tried to make school food healthy, but it failed: She claims politics (of course it was... also it was the food industry who liked to push their foods) but as a mother, I suspect it might have been because the menu was devised by elite dieticians instead of dieticians who knew what kids would eat.
And limiting calories is fine for 90 pound teenage girls, but teenage boys will eat you out of house and home and needs lots of calories.
Sigh
one does hope that RFK Jr will ask Michelle Obama to help out in this project.
but if they do, they need to include people knowledgeable of the culture:
When I worked in the IHS we didn't introduce foods from the fancy elite dietary types, but we taught how to make their favorite foods in a healthy way: Whole wheat for fry bread, less sugar and less salt in the diet, use vegetable oil instead of lard, include more vegetable dishes, include fruit as snacks, etc.
