I'd like to see anyone buy that. At least make it the same price or cheaper!
Students at my school were quite poor so they only had about $10 for the whole week, some even had to scrape by on $5.
Not to mention that there is a bakery across the road from school (and you're not allowed to leave the school) that sold cheaper unhealthy food :x
My point is;
As long as healthy food remains expensive, it will be out of reach for the poorer families.

At my school, we're kinda luckyy.
Here we get free fruite and vegetables every day, and we are able to buy other type of food in the kantine as we like, taco, hamburger(i think it is), bread, and something to drink.
