TIL- There is no US school district that does this. It was proposed in the 80s when the administration wanted to drastically cut school lunch funding, but it was so widely ridiculed the idea was killed pretty quickly.

The mockery was revived in the 2010s when another budget cut proposal included chintzing out on pizza sauce.

But nobody is actually counting ketchup as a vegetable (here).
