                    And I think you are probably right, Mademoiselle.  They'll just choke down 
                
                all that's bad for them at home and everywhere else they're dining or munching.  However, schools are a place to teach personal and civic responsibility, including one's responsibility to one's health.  And it can't hurt.

                    I'm going to make a bold prediction that ...
                
                this move will ultimately have (essentially) zero impact on the obesity rate.

                    It is a step in the right direction, smartdog.  Now, if they could only do 
                
                something about the Grade F meat and that chartreuse glow-in-the-dark turkey gravy!!

                I agree.  It's a step in the right direction.  Hopefully it will have an impact.
Be well,
