Allow private joint venture school lunches in public schools.

Our local schools provide school lunches, which fulfill the health requirements. However, many of the meals served are poorly made due to budget constraints. Children are actually becoming nauseous from the taste of the lunches as many of the items served, such as milk and applesauce, taste spoiled. The schools provide alternative meals however; there is often the same outcome. In researching this issue with family and friends in several different cities and states, I have found that there are similar issues in many other school systems. We would like to see a privatized option, which still fulfill the health requirements, in which children could choose a meal they could actually eat. Some suggestions have been heart healthy lunches from subway or similar sandwich chains.
