You didn't read the article.

It linked to a study that refutes you.

By 2017-2018, foods consumed at schools improved significantly and provided the best mean diet quality of major US food sources, without population disparities.

The large improvements at schools were associated with increased whole grains and less saturated fat, SSBs (Sugar Sweetened Beverages), and sodium.

Um I read the menu at my kids school daily. Read whatever study you like.
