That's true, but how much of that is caused by them seeing other kids eating crap like lunchables an wondering why they can't have it too? I don't have kids, but I'd guess they'd be a lot less likely to come home with an uneaten healthy lunch if everyone else was eating healthy too. This rule seems to be designed to prevent the very problem that you're talking about.
