Food industry continues to market junk food to children

Marketing strategies target everyone, the more serious problem is where the strategies are being used, vital places like in the SCHOOLS.
"Hot lunch" is one thing, whether it's a ham and cheese sub sandwich, the next day the main course could consist of chicken nuggets, french fries, frozen sorbet desert or even cookie dough.
When I was going through the lunch line in school, I'd more often than not find myself going through the 'a la carte' line so I'd be able to actually find a spot to sit, whereas the main course line took too long to do so.
Cookies, pop, chips, candy bars, ice cream, fruit snacks, soft pretzels
I stuck with baked chips and tried not to complain, seeing as nothing really has changed, even after they've 'cut out soda pop'... there's still Hi-C fruit punch, powerade and strawberry lemonade ffs

^^^ school lunches are a ton of BS for a ton of reasons. They where first started to integrate cultures.
