How can we fix public school lunches?

I ate at a primary school recently where about half the kids brought their lunch, and about half got the hot school lunch. I didn't see a single kid eat the school lunch ("disgusting!") one said. The brought lunches weren't theoretically as healthy as the school lunches (lots of processed kid snacks) but they had some redeeming value (cheese, yogurt, nuts) and the kids were eating them. At the end they passed out a round of Hostess SnoBalls (be grateful if you don't know what these are) so, I guess, the school lunch kids would have something in their stomachs. I don't see a lot of point in passing out lunches no one's eating. How can we fix this?
