[quote=Anonymous]This completely bugs me too!. Here is the solution I reached last year with my then 2nd grader. She was allowed to buy lunch 1 day/week but was also buying cookies and crap. A friend suggested I should use this as an opportunity for her to learn fiscal management rather than as a battle ground (I am a bit of a health nut and hate the school lunch crap to start with). So, at the beginning of each semester I fund her account with enough money for 1 lunch + 1 snack/ week. If she chooses more snacks, she skips her school lunch here and there. I think on balance it's probably just as healthy to bring a healthy lunch from home more often and eat a few more cookies. So it's kind of a wash and I don't worry about it. When she's out of $ for the semester, she's packing lunch every day. She definately takes this responsibility as her own now -- so it's a good solution for us. [/quote]
