Better ship them over to the USSA to make them loose some of that excess weight.
Actually if a parent is SO IRRESPONSIBLE as to send their kids to public schools these days, I SERIOUSLY DOUBT they have the faculties needed to properly feed those kids.

If people respond in outrage, they'll say a "mistake was made on the part of a low-level staffer" and issue a half-apology.
But the foot will be in the door. Feds will craft policy that districts will not receive aid unless they abide by the Fed's nutrition standards.
