Sure.

Pizza doesn't have to be complicated or labor intensive. I wouldn't bother to knead the dough now that I have a bread machine to do that and let it rise the first time. The flour can be bread or pizza flour, or you can have organic or whole wheat, if you want everyone to choke and spit it out. I use unbleached bread flour. A cafeteria kitchen would have a dough hook thingy. Just put in the flour etc and let 'er rip.
Then you roll it out, maybe spin it a bit if you have the time. Throw on the paste (plain paste is simply tomatoes cooked down and highly concentrated). If you're going healthy, you can use fully ripe thin tomato slices instead, which I think is how the original pizzas were made. Spread on some olive oil, oregano, garlic.
So far the ingredients cost very little. The cheese is the main cost - in most schools, they'd have to go light on it. Not so much at home. At any rate you can buy shredded pizza cheese mix for about the same price as a block of mozzarella, just put it on evenly. Salt and pepper. Add toppings. Pop into oven.
No matter your political leanings, every parent in this country should be angry about this. What more proof do you need that our "representatives" not only don't care about us, they seem to actively hate us.
We should be angry at the government because parents are too effin' stupid to manage proper family planning and too effin' lazy to raise their own children properly and in a healthy manner?

Am I getting that right?
Yes, it's too hard for parents to make kids their lunch and send them to school with no money to buy crap from the cafeteria. It's TOO HARD so the government has to take it over.
Funny thing though. My son took his lunch to school and I pre-paid his lunch ticket which said MILK ONLY on it.
It was extremely difficult to do. I had to send a check to school with a note. And then I had to take the 10 minutes to make his lunch each morning.
You see..that is just too hard for many American families to do. Why should they suffer like that, why put them through the hardship of making those type of decisions when they can just let the government do it for them (at probably 2000x the cost).
And DON'T EVEN start on the kids too poor to bring lunch. If they can wear Air Jordan's and have iPods and cellphones they can certainly afford to bring a ham and cheese sandwich to school each day. I am in the schools, I see these kids and what they wear and the toys they have. No pencils, no paper, no binders, no money for lunch yet they have designer clothes and the latest gadgets so don't even go there with "what if they can't afford a package of ham and cheese at home?"
As someone who loves Pizza (well real Pizza anyway) it would make me feel good if I said it was a vegetable, of course however to actually think that my brain would have to be a vegetable.
