Interesting the same has been said about Norwegian food culture, where the kids and parents bring basically a sandwich for lunch. The one I heard was that since the kids will only get the food their parents prepare they are less likely to try new things as adults and since there is a culture of not eating prepared meals at work as adults either I guess the problem continues.
Food culture is hard to measure, school lunches are not, I guess there are other objective measures one could use.

It sounds like Norwegian kids learn how to prepare their own food, a useful skill. They also get to have something of their choice. I did that in the USA. I normally took a drink, fruit, some nuts or chocolate, and two large meat sandwiches. Converting for you metric people... each sandwich might contain a slice of frozen eye-of-round (lean beef) about 8 mm thick and 10 cm diameter, in something like a hamburger bun. A larger version would have each sandwich being a small loaf of bread (a baguette?) about 25 cm by 8 cm, with turkey perhaps 6 mm thick. I'm sure this blows past the Calorie limits we now have in the USA, but I needed it.
