Savvy Shines Bright yup. Schools purchase food from the lowest bidders and those factories are normally the highest in food safety violations. Meat from factories that has been rejected by McDonald's and Burger King for quality/safety are still served to schools.
In the UK it's quite normal to add milk. Here mashed potato in most schools is made by boiling potatoes, smashing them up, adding milk and butter. Extremely rare packet crap is used. Or even used for people at home. Personally I don't add milk because I have a dairy allergy. But I'm not the norm,
My kid won't eat the school lunch and I always packed her lunch. You try to ban me my kid won' eat one ounce of their lunch and comes home hungry. stupid move
Then that’s a choice your child is making to not eat the food provided. This is why parents shouldn’t cater to their children’s every want. Your kid won’t starve.
that school lunch makes my school lunch look like roadkill it is roadkill •______• soggy crust burnt cheese old fruit and vegetables expired milk but that was last year it has improved though by like 10%
dont worry they cook the food let it sit out for an hour or 2 deliver it to the school then reheat it again and the frys are hard and its terrible. Also the french toast tastes like white bread
These school lunches aren’t good at all (personal experience) the veggies are mushy and tasteless, the fruit is rotten, we all get hype when there is food that tastes like food. Packed lunches are all we have left or we won’t last the day without stomach cramps
dont worry they cook the food let it sit out for an hour or 2 deliver it to the school then reheat it again and the frys are hard and its terrible. Also the french toast tastes like white bread
Giraffe Guy Mc Bassist exactly! Growing up, since I have a heart defect I couldn't eat school lunch due to the fact all school lunches have so much sodium in the food since its all prepackaged, so my mom had to make my lunch. I would've medically suffered if I was forced to eat school lunches.
Banning parents sending their children to school with a homemade packed lunch. That's just ridiculous. I understand their good intentions, but if the kid wants their homemade food instead of school lunch, I believe they should be entitled to that choice. Besides, it's no harm to the school or any of the other student.
Momo Senzații lmao and take away that 5$ from every kid every day? Hell no, let's give them rejected meat from McDonald's and hope they don't get food poisoning
corbin87445 same thing happened at my school but the "salad" is 50% ranch dressing, some carrots, and some cilantro. Adding to the problem they don't even wash it I found dirt on mine once
corbin87445 THANK YOU! Find me people are starting to come to there senses with healthy lunch options. So many people are saying healthy lunches are "to expensive to make" but I feel people are just lazy af. My mom makes salads with chicken for the whole week, and it's still cheaper than lunchables, and fake meals.
Laura Powell yes! Our family eats plant based and my toddler takes her own lunch and snacks for this reason. I would be so upset if they banned homemade lunches at school.
I'm vegan and the only thing I can get to eat at my high school is peanut butter and jelly. I can't even get the salad bc they make it with chicken and cheese.
but the school doesn't always know health risks and the child allergies and what they can't eat or what ever the children bring to school a packed lunch for a reason
When I was in middle school, I took a salad off the shelf instead of any warm meals because my stomach was upset. When I opened it a swarm of flies flew out. I don't eat school lunch anymore.... Moms home-made bread and fresh veggies are way more satisfying anyway. That school is just leaching money off of the parents tbh.
This is a horrible idea. You can OFFER a school lunch, but you should not ban someone bringing their own food. Whether they have dietary restrictions, the parents can't afford the school lunch or just the kid preferring whatever the parent made- you should not force your beliefs on others. the only exceptions of this is when the parents are not feeding the kids enough.
Except America is known for providing HORRIBLE school lunches. Like, milk turning solid aweful. Cheese being green. Salad being rotten. The situation is so bad most kids joke about "never get the tuna sandwich" or "never try the meatloaf." So in this case, I'd rather have a fat kid than a sick kid.
I Agree. And what's even more disgusting is that lunch ladies say homemade meals should be banned. Also there is nothing wrong with a kid bringing their food to school. They are already getting students getting school food. I'm against this rule
@@morestuff64058 Agreed. If the food was like in France or Japan, than I would have no problem with enforcing more school lunch policies (For context, France serves kids multiple different foods as school lunches, with things like Goulash and have things like cheese testing. And Japan has incredible school lunches that often include soups, rice, veggies, meat, all included in the meal). But since America provides such low quality foods with no nation wide standard, than I say kids are safer eating what they brought with them.
...not everyone can eat what the school prepares. Children have allergies and unexpected medical issues, and that's a lot of responsibility the school is taking on...
I am a very picky eater, so I have creative ways to get certain vegetables into my system. And why would schools think they know best?! Some kids don’t like the food they make and it costs a lot.
Yeah and schools just want the parents to send their kids to school with money to buy horrible shitty lunches that are usually not enough. Schools don't even put enough money into the school lunch program and the food is horribly unhealthy.
I understand they want to save the parents money, but what about autistic children? I have high functioning autism, and my brother has autism as well. Many of my friends have autism too, and I know from experience autistic children can be very very picky about their foods.
YES! i have pretty mild autism, but i'm a super, super picky eater and i have MAJOR texture issues. i'm homeschooled now but when i was these kids' ages, i absolutely hated my school lunches. i wouldn't eat them or i'd puke.
Yes I have autism and I'm a super taster aka picky eater there's a term for it now and recently discovered that a couple of years ago and the people who aren't picky eaters are called non tasters it's just the scientific term some people use now so yes I do like having my own food and not what the school provides due to the government and I don't like being forced to eat what I don't like.
What happened to the world nowadays?!?! People care more about calories in food then the health of the kid. It wasn't like this when I was in school why are we more health conscious nowadays then before? Sure a lot of people are obese but am I'm the only person who considers that they might have health conditions that prevents them from getting the required exercise to lose weight?!?! People nowadays are way too narrow minded and they need a good dose of a reality check.
Exactly, I'm not one to toot my own horn. But have the dumb fucks ever considered what's in the food that is causing obesity too? Our animals are growing bigger and faster and the same goes for the produce sold.
Too many people are obese and not many of them have legitimate conditions that wouldn't allow for weight loss. Weight gain comes from excess calories, not from not being able to exercise. You don't have to exercise, you have to eat only what your body needs. A lot of kids are obese and grow up that way, reducing their quality of life. This is important.
no way in hell! i would flat out refuse to hand over my good money to the school to let them forcefeed that SLOP they call 'food' to MY kids. I don't care if its school policy or what. nobody is telling me what my kid 'needs to eat', especially when I KNOW what my kid will or will not eat. I'll continue to prepare my kids school meals myself thanks and not waste good money or GROSS looking school made food like THAT that I know no mid of mine would ever eat unless you were holding them down and force feeding it to them. home made lunches is the way to go, and way better tasting than anything the schools could ever hope to provide in any century. if they have a problem with it, they can take it up with my lawyer especially if I hear they have the nerve to take my kids meal from them just because THEY don't approve of whats in it. My kid deserves the BEST food, and not some sick looking thing that looks like THAT as their meal.
My 3 children now adults 23-29 really hated school food, they usually ate sandwiches on whole wheat bread, with seasonal fruit,homemade cookies, purposely made half whole grain,lower in sugar& drank water. The school didn't sell milk or other drinks, this was done for each K-12.
Are you talking about that you can't get free lunches from the cafeteria in the U.S? If so, that's not true as from my school I get free school lunches.
Deathbubble most kids can't You have to qualify for free lunch and it means your family is very poor. If your parents make above a certain wage you can't get free lunchI don't know current numbers.
I hate how at 1:15 they say that it will help good eating habits but it truly dose not. the kids will never like anything that school provides most school lunches are bad but mine is at least decent
Yikes, I would not be happy with this decision. Of course every kids favorite food is going to be the junk. They probably don't get it all the time either.
Its probably a western problem specifically in britbong and burgerland. I dont ever recall sayin macdonalds or whatever junkfood out there being my favorite, at that age. Its honestly disheartening to see just how lacking people's nutrition on food is nowadays unless someone slapped with "expert" label comes along to tell you whats healthy and unhealthy. No wonder childhood obesity is on the rise in UK ffs.
That's plain ridiculous. If schools want kids to start bringing healthier meals they can send a list of 'allowed' choices home with the children. They should be aware that some kids have allergies or other medical reasons why they can't eat certain things. Not only am I highly lactose intolerant , but I also have many food allergies. Some of which can be fatal. At times I was told that I was 'too choosy' by the lunch ladies, but I knew better.
And its a good thing because some schools do not hire chefs to cook food. Instead they cook food that is not cooked very well. Half of it is cooked and half of it is uncooked and it tastes very terrible. These kids have every right to bring in Packed lunches. Also school lunch is not free
Really bad experience put me off school meals. When I had taken a bite out of my dinner roll my body tried to force it out but It was stuck it hurt l like hell. I fell out of my chair clutching my stomach I could feel the bile going up and down my throat cause of the blockage. My now husband actually helped me, I passed out and woke up in the nurse's office. It turned out there was a chunk of a plastic glove along with piece of hard plastic in the dinner roll. I coughed small traces of blood for 2 1/2 days. Never went to the doctor cause god damn it *** Im not wasting money on something thats not going to kill to get over it. (moms right... mine anyway) The school didn't call my parents or did anything they just let me stay in the nurse's office till school let out and gave me an ice pack for my throat. I still have problems since then.
Schools should not be telling parents how to feed their kids. School food is tasting very nasty not always heated up and sometimes tasting like its old
Elementary school we had really good lunches until about 4 the grade. We had steak and pork chops and chicken and various vegetables and fruits and some prepared dishes like Turkey ala King. Then it began to go down hill. Middle school the food was close to garbage. Highschool I mostly brought lunch. The key is to prepare things the kids will eat. Many kids have under devolped taste buds, so all sorts of new things will probably go in the trash. Maybe the reason they fed us those familiar foods when we were little.
But im a picky vegetarian... I wont eat that slop. Yah ill eat plain rice or bread with a roll but being picky and vegetarian in a american school who serves chicken and old salad. It would destroy me if my school banned packed lunches from home
you have to be kidding me you want the parents to save money but charge more money to go too the school a month and don't tell people how to feed there kids
In the public school my child goes to in Michigan the only thing that is actually banned is nuts or pb&j sandwiches due to other kids food allergies. I send my child to school with a packed lunch because it's cheaper for me to just grocery shop and make some of her favorite foods and fruits instead of paying $3+ dollars a day for school served breakfast and/or lunch for the whole month, which gets expensive.
When I went to school, the meals tasted terrible, so I always brought a home lunch. One teacher would always go around inspecting lunches and telling kids what they could and couldn't eat. She often told kids to throw away candy and junk food, and if they refused she would give them detention for disobeying. She was a power tripping byotch. She once tried to make me throw away my soda and get a milk, so I chugged the soda in front of her and handed her the can. I got detention, but I called my parents and they came down to yell at the teacher and principal and signed me out for the day
School lunches are just bleh! My school has good food, I NEVER bring a packed lunch. But I know that some School Lunches are just, out of the ordinary, and disgusting, like I've seen a school lunch that when you get a pepperoni pizza, you have to pick the Pepperonis off and throw them away, what's the point in having pizza if all your going to do is pick the toppings off?
what about those with food allergies? And those with sensitive diets? And those who are autistic who only eat what they're home routine has planned? They severely fucked up with banning home packed lunch.
It would be more beneficial to show the kids how to prepare a balanced meal... According to their lifestyle: carnivore, vegetarian, vegan... Then just taking the control away from parents, the parents need that same food education or the habits at home won't change and in turn the change in school won't make a difference.
And I completely disagree with you. It won't show the kids anything. Also school lunches are not free. Sometimes they bring in packed lunches because the school food does not know how to make good food. instead they serve food to kids that looks more like a vomit than food. I Side with the Parents that make food for their kids. Unlike you who support Schools banning packed lunches so that it can be easier for them to serve them food that can make them sick
I pack my own our food is cooked at the restaurant then arrives at the school and reheated again and its terrible frys are hard, food is greasy, you just cant eat it. Cant wait for high school cause the highschool I go to say they have amazing food
I don't like that someone other than the parent is deciding what is healthy? Every child has different needs and to make a blanket decision like that says a lot about the society of the school. I don't care if the food is free or not. I choose what is healthy for my child not someone else who doesn't even know my child.
My school had awesome stuff like Burgers, spaghetti, chicken strips, Chili with cinnamon rolls and my favorite Teriyaki chicken nuggets hell yes! But schools now just serve this weird mystery meat goop
This is old but I don’t care. I had a nightmare over this happening and it was highly distressing even though it wasn’t even real, that’s how bad this decision would be I bet loads of kids like me are suffering from the same thing I am. For context I used to have school dinners but I changed to packed lunches because I realised how awful the cleanliness was in that kitchen, marks on the cutlery (during covid mind you) and not wearing hairnets correctly are both no-goes for me (apologies as this is quite long and the video is rather old)
This is outrageous. It is not the business of schools to decide what goes in a child’s mouth - that is for the parents. Yes education about healthy eating is good.
Very true! And theunches these kids eat don't even look healthy. They get white rice and chicken curry with a cupcake. That's the things I eat as a treat, it's not a healthier lunch than a chicken sandwich and some juice
Parents are not paying for it. Sure they are, fees, increased taxes, whatever. "mandatory school provided lunches" have been shown that kids will routinely throw out a good amount of the food because they do not like it. EDUCATE, do not MANDATE. Also, some folks have special dietary needs.
School lunch seemed very processed to me.. White rice = no nutrition. Curry = high sodium & probably out of a giant can full of preservatives. Flat bread = high carbs/sugars. I saw no real healthy nutrition in that school lunch. DON'T TELL ME WHAT MY CHILD IS, AND ISN'T, ALLOWED TO EAT!
That is downright dumb! What about kids with allergy's,diabetes, medical conditions! They didn't think of that. If that was me I would continue to send packed lunch with s note saying "my child can have packed lunches not hot dinners regards ............."
At my school this kid was eating a bag of Takis and a teacher was all like, " No chips, no junk food!" And he then took the bag of chips away and threw it in the garbage!
What if the child has food allergies or has to be on a special type of diet for medical reasons?! What will the school do then? Just let the kid go hungry if they are unable to eat the school lunch?! This needs to be thought through a little more carefully in regards to a child's medical needs or if the child has severe food allergies and allow for accommodations that parents may send in special meals for their children if it's required for health reasons!
You want to know something that is not healthy about school lunches? They are all so processed that it is ridiculous.
Savvy Shines Bright yup. Schools purchase food from the lowest bidders and those factories are normally the highest in food safety violations. Meat from factories that has been rejected by McDonald's and Burger King for quality/safety are still served to schools.
My district used to make everything from scratch.
@@Itz_kayyyy0
So they are basically feeding the kids dog food/cat food or just trash that even the pets shouldn’t eat?
I know and you basically starve if you eat them like I thought schools weren't supposed to encourage self harm
Stopped eating school lunch. My stomach thanked me
What about students with special food needs? Like allergies, diabetes, etc.
Darling Jewel they didn't think about that
Rhona Miller they will most likely give an acception, like how you have to get milk unless you get water or are allergic
Darling Jewel they didn't think of that
Dairy is in things you wouldn't think of, mashed potato, pizza, pastas in creamy sauces. X
In the UK it's quite normal to add milk. Here mashed potato in most schools is made by boiling potatoes, smashing them up, adding milk and butter. Extremely rare packet crap is used. Or even used for people at home. Personally I don't add milk because I have a dairy allergy. But I'm not the norm,
My kid won't eat the school lunch and I always packed her lunch. You try to ban me my kid won' eat one ounce of their lunch and comes home hungry. stupid move
Joan Gonzalez exactly
I know because my daughter hate school lunch now because it bland
Joan Gonzalez school lunch is just crapy in general
I had a elementary school and the lunch was terrible and now I have a middle school w/ AMAZING food
Then that’s a choice your child is making to not eat the food provided. This is why parents shouldn’t cater to their children’s every want. Your kid won’t starve.
I'd be mad. I know the garbage they serve at my kids school is way worse than what I pack.
that school lunch makes my school lunch look like roadkill
it is roadkill •______• soggy crust burnt cheese old fruit and vegetables expired milk but that was last year it has improved though by like 10%
There was a day my daughter school lunch the main course was cheese stick and tomato sauce
dont worry they cook the food let it sit out for an hour or 2 deliver it to the school then reheat it again and the frys are hard and its terrible. Also the french toast tastes like white bread
My lumch ladys make fresh food evry period and allways make second and its good shout out tho then
Twinkie come visit the 3rd world countries you would be sick at what the kids have to eat here

Jon Jacques So true. One time, i had this "pizza" that was literally black, and theres these carrots that were moldy
I'm in year 3 and I know what your talking about school dinners are yucky
Imagine your food dunked in grease, and flavorless everythubg
dont worry they cook the food let it sit out for an hour or 2 deliver it to the school then reheat it again and the frys are hard and its terrible. Also the french toast tastes like white bread
And when they give you pizza it half grease.
No one wants to eat school lunches
They are always more gross than McDonald’s that’s been sitting out for a week.

(moms right... mine anyway) The school didn't call my parents or did anything they just let me stay in the nurse's office till school let out and gave me an ice pack for my throat. I still have problems since then.
I lost it 47 seconds in when the guy appeared in the plate
Schools should not be telling parents how to feed their kids. School food is tasting very nasty not always heated up and sometimes tasting like its old
Elementary school we had really good lunches until about 4 the grade. We had steak and pork chops and chicken and various vegetables and fruits and some prepared dishes like Turkey ala King. Then it began to go down hill. Middle school the food was close to garbage. Highschool I mostly brought lunch. The key is to prepare things the kids will eat. Many kids have under devolped taste buds, so all sorts of new things will probably go in the trash. Maybe the reason they fed us those familiar foods when we were little.
But im a picky vegetarian... I wont eat that slop. Yah ill eat plain rice or bread with a roll but being picky and vegetarian in a american school who serves chicken and old salad. It would destroy me if my school banned packed lunches from home
Forcing young kids to eat food they despise can lead to eating disorders when they’re older
I love that they use real utensils and don’t just throw out plastics and disposable products. It’s so wasteful.
0.28 that poor black girl looks like she's eating lunch all by herself thats so sad :(
you have to be kidding me you want the parents to save money but charge more money to go too the school a month and don't tell people how to feed there kids
Encouraging is one thing forcing is another banning packed lunches is taking that choice away from the parents. SHAME!
Omg what fancy school do they go to
That is not normal lunch/cafeteria food it's all mostly gross to all the schools I've been to
In the public school my child goes to in Michigan the only thing that is actually banned is nuts or pb&j sandwiches due to other kids food allergies. I send my child to school with a packed lunch because it's cheaper for me to just grocery shop and make some of her favorite foods and fruits instead of paying $3+ dollars a day for school served breakfast and/or lunch for the whole month, which gets expensive.
What about kids with allergies? I’m vegan and there’s NOTHING I can eat besides junk food from school lunch.
But my school is gonna start asking for us to pay for school lunch in April because of school cuts
Their school food looks better then the food at mine
Tf? I don't eat at school period. At least it's food
But school food is shit I need my stuff to be packed
This might been true if the school meals weren't ridiculously small and processed
When I went to school, the meals tasted terrible, so I always brought a home lunch.
One teacher would always go around inspecting lunches and telling kids what they could and couldn't eat. She often told kids to throw away candy and junk food, and if they refused she would give them detention for disobeying. She was a power tripping byotch.
She once tried to make me throw away my soda and get a milk, so I chugged the soda in front of her and handed her the can.
I got detention, but I called my parents and they came down to yell at the teacher and principal and signed me out for the day
My school once served nachos 2 days in a row it's gross af
Gravity Cat the cheese at my school was literally like foam
GrandSlam5 that sucks I just typically took my lunch to school there was worms in the apples an other foods etc
My school has done the opposite
Banned school lunches as one girl died from food poisoning from the food
Now we have pack lunch
home made lunches if the kids weren't eating it that means the homemade lunches aren't tasty enough thats why learn to make tasty food lmao
UGH WHAT IF YOUR A VEGAN CHILD YOU LITERALLY HAVE NO CHANCE OF SURVIVING AS VEGAN IF YOU CANT PACK YOUR OWN FOOD
When he said banana cake I lost it😂
All school lunches sux!! All of them! Yes your schools too. Gross!🤮
My parents woluld be pretty pissed......
I hate people that have videos of them talking about how "great" school lunches are 😑
I’m allergic as shit to a lot of food
Sandwiches have too many carbs we really only need one slice
I'm glad to see that America's not the only one in this fight. We need all the help we can get
They do understand that kids are very picky eaters.....I work at a preschool and a lot of these kids won't actually eat healthy food or "real" food.
Stopped eating school lumch after grade 9. Not only is school lunch ,bland and flavorless but its unfilling as well
they're just kids as long as they're not overweight just let them eat like kids tf
what the hell that school food actually looks good
They have NO RIGHT to tell parents what to feed their kids!
My lunch is healthier than the school lunch
its called salad
Joseph Parodi no just not sugar or a lot of fat
School lunches are just bleh! My school has good food, I NEVER bring a packed lunch. But I know that some School Lunches are just, out of the ordinary, and disgusting, like I've seen a school lunch that when you get a pepperoni pizza, you have to pick the Pepperonis off and throw them away, what's the point in having pizza if all your going to do is pick the toppings off?
I agree. I have to add additional sauces on my food to make it taste actually edible.
what about those with food allergies? And those with sensitive diets? And those who are autistic who only eat what they're home routine has planned? They severely fucked up with banning home packed lunch.
It would be more beneficial to show the kids how to prepare a balanced meal... According to their lifestyle: carnivore, vegetarian, vegan... Then just taking the control away from parents, the parents need that same food education or the habits at home won't change and in turn the change in school won't make a difference.
And I completely disagree with you. It won't show the kids anything. Also school lunches are not free. Sometimes they bring in packed lunches because the school food does not know how to make good food. instead they serve food to kids that looks more like a vomit than food. I Side with the Parents that make food for their kids. Unlike you who support Schools banning packed lunches so that it can be easier for them to serve them food that can make them sick
How about if u don't like the lunches skl give you
Then what happens
This school is giving like 5 star hotel food, my school gives like nothing.
The food they’re serving doesn’t look so good at the school.
Also school lunch? Either not enough or disgusting, and sometimes both.
that school lunch actually looked better than mine.
I pack my own our food is cooked at the restaurant then arrives at the school and reheated again and its terrible frys are hard, food is greasy, you just cant eat it. Cant wait for high school cause the highschool I go to say they have amazing food
Here in the U.S. we can't get enough parents to actually make their kids lunches.
You look at their School lunches but here in America they look disgusting
my high school had the worst food. It always looked gross. There was also nothing really for allergies.
I don't like that someone other than the parent is deciding what is healthy? Every child has different needs and to make a blanket decision like that says a lot about the society of the school. I don't care if the food is free or not. I choose what is healthy for my child not someone else who doesn't even know my child.
if I don't have my lunch and the school isn't serving good food, I just won't eat.
What if you are a vegan?Or what if you have allergies?
Britain in 1800 is to America as government is to schools in 2017
My school had awesome stuff like Burgers, spaghetti, chicken strips, Chili with cinnamon rolls and my favorite Teriyaki chicken nuggets hell yes! But schools now just serve this weird mystery meat goop
School lunches in America are horrible, there is a huge reason why I bring my own lunch.
This is old but I don’t care. I had a nightmare over this happening and it was highly distressing even though it wasn’t even real, that’s how bad this decision would be I bet loads of kids like me are suffering from the same thing I am. For context I used to have school dinners but I changed to packed lunches because I realised how awful the cleanliness was in that kitchen, marks on the cutlery (during covid mind you) and not wearing hairnets correctly are both no-goes for me (apologies as this is quite long and the video is rather old)
This is outrageous.
It is not the business of schools to decide what goes in a child’s mouth - that is for the parents.
Yes education about healthy eating is good.
Very true! And theunches these kids eat don't even look healthy. They get white rice and chicken curry with a cupcake. That's the things I eat as a treat, it's not a healthier lunch than a chicken sandwich and some juice
I'd rather have starved than eaten any of my schools lunches. They always looked disgusting! I don't want to know to know what it tasted like.
Parents are not paying for it. Sure they are, fees, increased taxes, whatever. "mandatory school provided lunches" have been shown that kids will routinely throw out a good amount of the food because they do not like it. EDUCATE, do not MANDATE. Also, some folks have special dietary needs.
2:08 "burr-nar-nar caaake"
Where did you hear Rs? He said bah-nah-nah cake.
School lunch seemed very processed to me.. White rice = no nutrition. Curry = high sodium & probably out of a giant can full of preservatives. Flat bread = high carbs/sugars. I saw no real healthy nutrition in that school lunch. DON'T TELL ME WHAT MY CHILD IS, AND ISN'T, ALLOWED TO EAT!
Oh please no one’s gonna tell me what my kids are going to eat.
Fun fact my old elementary school baneed cake and cupcakes on birthdays. You had to bring in fruits and veggies
That is downright dumb! What about kids with allergy's,diabetes, medical conditions! They didn't think of that. If that was me I would continue to send packed lunch with s note saying "my child can have packed lunches not hot dinners regards ............."
When I went to primary school (3 years ago) the food was that bed id rather not eat
At my school this kid was eating a bag of Takis and a teacher was all like, " No chips, no junk food!" And he then took the bag of chips away and threw it in the garbage!
What if the child has food allergies or has to be on a special type of diet for medical reasons?! What will the school do then? Just let the kid go hungry if they are unable to eat the school lunch?! This needs to be thought through a little more carefully in regards to a child's medical needs or if the child has severe food allergies and allow for accommodations that parents may send in special meals for their children if it's required for health reasons!
From a middle schooler in 5th grade... I just give out food and eat half of my meal, so what's the point of a "healthy" lunch?
