I have several kids who are young or picky. I have served veggies/hummus at snack time when I know kids will eat it. I always offer fresh fruits and veggies, very often. But I do serve canned veggies sometimes, we have pancakes once a week for breakfast, graham crackers with peanut butter for snack a couple times a month.
I try to do *most* everything right but I'm nowhere near perfect. However I feel like I need to crank it up another notch. No longer do I serve mac n cheese from a box(plain wheat noodles or brown rice, which they love), fish sticks(fresh fish now), hot dogs are only a 1x a month thing, cheezit type crackers are only on occasion now. Compared to what I serve today my menus from the ole days were ick! They do get pizza once a week, home made. I don't serve the cold meat sandwiches, only things like turkey, tuna, etc.
So I guess my question is this....where am I compared to most of you? 
Everything in moderation I say!!!
I guess I serve healthier than most in my area but not nearly as healthy as some here.
Although I do serve organic in the meat department because it's available... And I do serve fresh veggies when available because I blanch and freeze them in the summer... I rarely EVER fry even pan fry..but..I do also do other things like sweet tea and kool aid occasionally also.
According to the parents I'm VERY HEALTHY but I don't really think I am... Maybe I am compared to them??
I don't see a problem with graham crackers occasionally...
