This legislation is finally beginning to be realized as the harsh law it truly is. At my high school, the lunch ladies don't count up all the calories on every plate to make sure each student's lunch

is no more than 850 calories

(which is technically a part of the

Heathy, Hunger-Free Kids Act

: the limit for any 9th- through 12th-grader's lunch calories is dictated as being 850), but they DO force us to put one serving of fruits/vegetables on our tray, and do it themselves if we

"refuse to eat healthy"

of our own accord. Not only does this seem unconstitutional to me, many of my classmates, and vast others, but the economy is definitely being hurt by this! Most of us students just throw the fruit away,

even if we happen to like it

, hoping that the message will one day get itself across. The funding for this food

comes from the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!

All this food they're paying for has come to naught;

This

, alongside of everything that involves basic personal rights, has led me to realize that someone needs to shoot down (if Big Brother happens to be reading this, don't worry, that's metaphorical, not terroristical) this law. So.....where should I start? Petitions? Contacting the 3 people that represent me on a federal level (my representative and 2 senators) ??? Anything before that point, or other vital info to mention? All ideas replies welcome.
