The mandate is completely horrid. Capping the caloric intake at 850 calories per lunch? Insane. What about the kids who eat a reduced lunch because their parents can't afford to get them food? Then they are being screwed. Same with some of the kids on sports teams. You can't seriously expect anyone to eat only 850 calories off a school lunch and be able to get through a one-one and a half hour practice.
And for the argument that "it helps kids not overeat and prevent them from going over the recommended amount of calories", get a grip. 1800 (teenage girls) and 2200 (teenage boys) is relatively unhealthy for most teens.
