Can you serve the fruits and veggies for morning snack and then main lunch item at lunch? I feel so sad when I hear of kids eating like this...it truly is setting them up for countless health problems But, you are fighting an uphill battle as the parents are obviously not on board with healthy eating.
I do this too, serve the fruit and veggies at snacks and serve whatever is the main meal at lunch time. I pick my battles with the food that gets sent, if they have alphagetti for lunch then fine, but I don't let them have the Oreos.
