However, the elementary "hot lunches" still suck! We're heading into the third week of school and my oldest hasn't asked to buy a hot lunch yet. I'm not pushing it until he asks and then we'll compromise (probably once a week?).

As one step further, the school requires a healthy lunch - no junk food allowed and the younger grades talk about the food groups during lunch to reinforce healthy choices.

I knew the menu lacked green veggies most days, but I didn't realize how bad things were until I went to eat lunch with my daughter. <br /><br />First, she picked a baked potato that same with the same sort of "cheese" sauce and meat that you described with the nachos.Then she wanted tater tots and juice as her sides.

Works great, and gives me a little reprieve at the end of the week too. <br />But yeah, aren't they gross?

The hot lunch looked so gross that I couldn't bring myself to eat it...not that it was healthy anyway.<br /><br />The only good thing my school did, was pop was not available during school hours.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17734090512559174335noreply@blogger.com
