The schools can do little to make parents better nutritional guides, and I have to say that parents are really doing a poor job. A survey in one of my classes turned up only one girl who ate dinner with her parents every night, and she was also the only one whose mother made her a healthy lunch (interestingly she also had the top grade in my class). All schools can do is ban junk food, and serve healthy lunches. IMO all foods offered in schools should conform to the best nutritional guidelines. If kids don't eat it, then they don't eat it- but at least the schools will be fulfilling their function as a model for what is exemplary.

I doubt the ban in schools is making kids binge any more than they already do. If you ever get any hard data on it post it here- but I doubt you will find that data.
