The kids go home and say to their mum " Mum today i had a salad which i really hated it, can i have a school packed lunch instead"
So the mum say yes and this happens everywhere in Britain because at my local school their losing ALOT of buisness because of this. But it dosnt matter if the lunch box is full of fruit and vitimins but it DOES matter if the thing is full of crisps, cakes and sweets
whats your opinion?

(1) I don't think you can stop people giving their children poor food any more than you can stop them dressing them in ugly clothes.

(2) They're children, not customers.

and (3) A well made packed lunch will be far better for them than the mass-produced slop they serve in canteens.

Hiya,I have worked in school catering for 20 years,and must put over my view.
on the whole apart from shaped fish,twizzlers,+burgers the rest of the food has always been ok we have always had meat pies, lasagne,chilli,shepherds pie,bolognaise etc,which is what they have now plus turkey burgers and pizza ,Which by the way are the only things the Children will actually eat.
now call me old fashioned but if the parents are so concerned how come when jaimies food was put onto my menu in the primary school where i work suddenly packed lunches jummped from being 12 for the whole school and now is approx 42.
If the parents could see the amout that is thrown away by the children now they would be shocked.yes the children should eat healthy food but whats the point if the children go hungry all day because they are not brought up to like the ADULT type of food, Over to you then Parents your fault.!!!
