I think it has. Viewing the local school menu, there's two choices, and both are healthy. There's a vegetarian option most days.

Considering the fact that we have a problem with obese children in this culture does school lunch affect that?

It's not the school's responsibility. It's for the parents to decide.

That said the school can still have a healthy meal program for the students on school time.

I don't think so.

I think the greatest impact is parents' busy lifestyle resulting in their feeding their children either fast food or highly processed foods.

My daughter loses her **** when her mother feeds her daughter fast food. She (my daughter) either makes crockpot meals or cooks meals in advance to warm up during the week.

Not sure about the UK now, it was chips (fries) with everything or salad, The everything was usually a burger or sausage

France (certainly this area) has school lunch sorted, it's used as a lesson in how to dine. For our local infants school lunch is a chef prepared, 5 course meal served with (watered) wine.
