• In fact, it seems that the harder a school tries to provide its students with balanced nutrition, the less tasty that school’s lunches become.

Which of these is the best summary of the selection?

• School meals contain too many foods that are high in carbohydrates. These foods are more expensive than foods high in protein and fat. For this reason, schools should change the foods they serve in order to save  money.
• School meals are neither as popular with students nor as healthy as they could   be. Meals higher in protein and fat would have many advantages over the meals presently served. Therefore, schools should switch to these types of meals.
• Students often throw away school meals because they don't like the way they taste. Proper nutrition is very important both for general health and for keeping  your energy level high. Therefore, schools should make sure all students finish their meals.
• Students complain about school lunches. These complaints distract them from their studies. Since students go to school to learn, anything that distracts them from learning is bad. For this reason, the school lunches should be  changed.
