Casey Means on Ultra-Processed School Lunches: warns against

Dr. Casey Means has advocated removing ultra-processed foods from school lunches and called for eliminating added sugar there. Means made the case on the Jay Shetty interview, under the chapter heading “Eliminate Added Sugar in School Lunch.”

Means’s stated reasoning is that school meals are a formative dietary input for children, and that serving ultra-processed, sugar-laden food in schools trains children’s palates and metabolisms toward the processed-food patterns she blames for metabolic dysfunction. Positioning school lunch reform as a policy lever connects her dietary philosophy to her MAHA-aligned advocacy for systemic change.
