I think they are if any federal food subsidies are involved. A lot of schools serving this crap have ALL of their students getting free breakfast and lunch, so they complain but aren't about to pay for an alternative.
It can be done. I encountered a handful of schools that worked with their food providers to provide edible healthy meals within the guidelines. It seems most people would rather complain and demand than help to solve the problem.
PS: Kiwis, when properly ripened and kept fresh are very tasty and nutritional.

Back in my senior year(1963-1964), the students with money decided to boycott the cafeteria because “they” said the meals were bad. I did not go along because I knew the meals were really good.
