Why not mandate that 3 meals a week have at least X g of protein and Y g of fiber?
This seems like the most sensible option. I’m sure the guidelines seemed reasonable when they were first drawn up, presumably to stop cults and shysters feeding the kids inappropriate food but if turkey twizzlers met the meat requirement then the guidelines weren’t really doing their job.
So they need guidelines on the amounts of protein, fibre, and calcium, as well as a restriction on UPFs.
Ofsted inspections now check what food is being offered, so it would be easy enough to ensure children are getting a healthy, balanced diet without being so proscriptive as to the sources of the nutrition.
Yes there is. The law states that schools have to serve meat at least 3 times a week.

That’d be a better way to ensure healthy meals with proteins without requiring meat.
