Dude … Yeah the customer is the school and the decision is to go with a lower bidder, usually. It depends on the factors the customer, in this case a school system, wants to prioritize and any rules and regulations around it.
You’re just playing at semantics at this point.
Like it or not this is a private market we’re talking about. Also, I’d challenge the notion that private schools automatically have better cafeterias than public ones. It very much depends on school funding and what they can budget for.
Most educators would prefer better school lunches but the money has to come from somewhere and the way we find schools in the USA by using mostly property taxes, in most states, really causes a lot of inequality. So there is a give and take, like everything else.
At the end of the day a lot of the guidelines boil down to x calories consisting of something that has XYZ nutrients (vitamins/minerals). Whether that’s a slice of nutra-loaf or an actual meal is up to who is implementing the guidelines and the money they have.
“The school” is still the customer. They are staffing the cafeteria and paying it with their money. If they don’t achieve expectations they are fired or their contract isn’t renewed and “the school” pays someone else to do the job.
When the bidding process is “whoever goes lower”, there’s no customer decision making. That’s not capitalism. That’s a simple rule.

“the school” isn’t eating the food.

Like it or not. This is still capitalism.
“The school” is deciding for the children. Authority choosing for me is communism.
Alright well now you’re just trolling or maybe you were all along. Or you’re honestly that dumb.
