The federal government has no basis to ban anything in schools, it's just more tyranny from the statists in government, and useful idiots who don't oppose it are truly abundant on CD. ^^^
Federal, state and municipal revenues and deficit spends fund those schools.
Parents are free to supply their minor children with unlimited soda and candy in the lunch box.
This likely pisses off the PepsiCo type lobbies. Well, at least the SNAP Program continues to reward them.

They aren't giving the soda away for free. Those are soda machines with the same prices you find outside of school. Stocked and collected by the soda vendors.
Well then give your kids snickers, twix, and bun buns, ice cream, etc for school. And don't come crying when they have diabetes, cancer, and need root canals throughout there mouth.
Some parents actually care about what their kid eats.

They aren't. This isn't something new. Schools have had this for at least 10 years now that I know of, maybe even longer. My son was in middle school 10 years ago and there were soda machines there.
They just get the soda at school because it's cold. They bring it from home..4 hours later it's warm as all get go.
Nobody is stopping parents from adding a bag of Cheezits, a can of Pepsi and a candy bar to their child's lunch as they waddle out the door.
Oink.
You are not going to win the war on obesity with one meal of lettuce and carrot sticks a day.
Not when they get McD's for breakfast on the way to school, Dairy Queen after school and who knows what on the weekends.
You'd be surprised at how many of the economically challenged don't know how to cook.
The obesity problem is not in your middle class surburban schools.
