They go to a rural school (10 miles out of city limits) so they have their own menu that is different from the other schools in the district. They also have their own garden to grow fresh fruits and veggies and the water comes from a natural spring on school property. If my kids had to eat what other schools serve, I would be making them take lunch from home every day!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760843920671057301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878649115694692418.post-32301674070561279762010-04-20T18:28:09.792-05:002010-04-20T18:28:09.792-05:00Oh dear!

I used to be jealous of all of you people who had access to hot lunch, now I'm a wee bit grateful that I have to make lunches every single day. :)<br /><br />PS Thanks for stopping by my blog today, I'm your newest follower!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17218519474695662328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878649115694692418.post-44692358373794121152010-04-20T17:16:08.226-05:002010-04-20T17:16:08.226-05:00It is so sad what people see as healthy foods.

And as a sub teacher I know most of them(98%probably)pass it up for the "better" dessert choice. Ice cream or cookie usually. My son is in first grade and has never ordered school lunch. They don't even send the cafeteria calendar home to us anymore! He gets to take the fruits and veggies he likes(for instance he doesn't like the pears or peaches in fruit syrup--another biggee at school cafs--but loves apples and green grapes). And whatever he doesn't eat he just stuffs back in his lunch can so I can actually see what it is he's eating--or not eating.Jodi Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767881992168261164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878649115694692418.post-84933910547572382172010-04-20T12:44:03.743-05:002010-04-20T12:44:03.743-05:00Ours are similar, except that our school allows ki...Ours are similar, except that our school allows kids to return to the line & purchase unlimited cookies & ice cream. On their lunch plan. I've had to threaten to whip my kids to keep them from eating nothing but ten cookies for lunch every day.<br /><br />School lunches have never been gourmet, but they are beyond disgusting now. We're in one of the wealthiest school districts in Texas and our kids eat revolting, unhealthy slop for lunch every day.<br /><br />Which is why I send them with PB & honey virtually every day. At least I know it's organic PB, natural local honey, and whole wheat bread. it's definitely better than what the school serves.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11817600988845500118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878649115694692418.post-16932969745937194952010-04-20T12:26:15.528-05:002010-04-20T12:26:15.528-05:00have you been watching jamie olivers food revoluti...have you been watching jamie olivers food revolution or signed the petition to deal with this horrid food schools consider a balanced meal?Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16444384822254291871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878649115694692418.post-39311127220543370452010-04-20T11:50:56.264-05:002010-04-20T11:50:56.264-05:00I know I am shocked to the bone.

Now how are we to be teaching proper nutrition to our kiddos when the school does not. They say our kids are more overweight then ever...but I see more and more junk food in the school lunches now and also less and less exercise during p.e.<br />Maybe it is not all at home?lynette355https://www.blogger.com/profile/07162581667028276870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878649115694692418.post-72423281240930044832010-04-20T08:05:37.713-05:002010-04-20T08:05:37.713-05:00I agree.
