[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My K came home and told me how her teacher told her that her lunch was "unhealthy" and that she needs to eat more fruits and veggies at lunch. She then turned to my older kid and said "I hope your lunch is healthier" Now I will say, she is right. Lunch was a homemade PBJ, GoGurt, some crackers and a Welch's fruit snack packet. I hadn't really realized that this is, in fact, all processed food. So, the good news is that I am now aware an will be packing fruit/veggie. But...wtf teach? Seems odd that she would say something like that to my kids. [/quote] Didn't read all 15 pages of responses, but it is way better than the hot lunches that are served. French fries and slurpees count as "fruits and vegetables". My kids tell me potatoes are "always" on as a vegetable because that's what 95% of kids will eat. So I would not let this bother me in the least. [/quote] I don't know. I take the same information and get to radically different, if somewhat more work, conclusions: if schools serve disgusting unhealthy food, then someone, presumably families, need to offer healthy appetizing food. Alternatively, if families find that it is just not logistically feasible because of work and commute hours, they could choose to lobby for schools to offer healthier appetizing foods, e.g. by pressuring the current vendor to do so, or switching vendors. But just because dcps offers slushies and french fries, doesn't make it ok for parents to offer gogurt and candy.[/quote] My thought in writing this was - did the teacher go around and criticize all the children's lunches who bought them? I don't disagree with your other point.[/quote]
