School lunch not all of the problem

This from the NY Times:
The days when children consume two orders of French fries in the school cafeteria and call it lunch may be numbered. A bipartisan group in Congress plans to introduce legislation today that would prohibit the sale in school not only of French fries but also of other fatty or sugary foods, including soft drinks.
Seems to us there is much more to the problem than what kids eat at lunch. How about all the corn syrup used in the processing of just about all our foodstuffs. Let's get to the real issue.
