Can anyone tell me where in the constitution the federal government is granted authority to dictate what kids eat in schools?

Wanton tenth amendment violation, that has gone completely unchallenged because the general public is so accustomed to tenth amendment violations, most people literally do not even know the federal government doesn't just have any authority they decide to have.

Literally, I have talked to so many people who genuinely believe the federal government can do anything, so long as it doesn't violate the basic rights they know about (free speech, freedom of religion, etc.) and as long as the "checks and balances" are still in place. People literally do not even realize that the federal government has extremely limited power only the specific things the constitution says and, because nobody even knows enough to say something, they actually do have unlimited power.

Seriously, one time I brought this up to someone who, clearly, looked up the tenth amendment for the first time only after I mentioned it. Her response was "the constitution grants the federal government the power to make laws, and explains how they can do it, so any law that goes through that process is valid." That interpretation is how *most* people believe it literally works. But it is not even how the pozz'd courts justify it (they usually just use the commerce clause), because it is too bad of a completely made up interpretation than even liberal courts would dream of using, but somehow still the most common perspective in this country.
