I would say he is more free, but doesn't receive a better deal. Freedom is not an intrinsically good thing, though I think attempts to limit freedom are not usually motivated by good. In the context of school lunch, guidance, nutrition education, and encouragement to eat healthily are all great. Prohibiting lunches brought from home in the process, not so much.
