[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also work at an ES. I’m shocked how many middle class and upper MC families let their kids buy breakfast or lunch! It is so gross. My kids always packed and always will.[/quote] Many schools have move to free breakfast for all, and lunch too, so as to not stigmatize free meals. So even if your child eats a heathy breakfast at home, they are still handed a chocolate milk and pop tart when they hit the door. [/quote] To get funding for this you typically have to be at 50% or greater students on FARMS. Also, in addition to the crap food, the amount of disposable wrapping/single use plastic is appalling. Everything is in individual packaging and then the breakfasts items are placed in another plastic bag so they can be easily carried to the classroom to eat. So gross. [/quote] DP. Our MCPS ES has a farms rate of around 40% and they give out free “breakfast” to everyone. I understand why it’s given to everyone, but really dislike the execution of it for the reasons you state (awful food, disposable packaging).[/quote]
