Your kid's school lunch might contain pizza that's legally classified as a vegetable. Sarah Williams breaks down the $2.3 billion food lobby that's deciding what 30 million American children eat every single day, and it's worse than you think.

Schools get $3.66 to feed your child lunch while spending twice that on actual food costs.

This isn't about shaming overworked cafeteria staff or cash-strapped schools. It's about understanding a system designed to benefit corporations while our kids pay the price with their health.
