[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For very young children, who have dietary restrictions, is there anyone to help them make sure they don't accidentally take something they shouldn't eat? I'm not speaking about allergies but more so vegetarian or certain meats, etc.[/quote]

My kids are vegetarian and our experience in elementary school is that the online menu may indicate a vegetarian option will be available, and then in reality it frequently isn't.  The lunchroom staff were not accommodating or helpful, for example they wouldn't let my child have both a fruit and vegetable on a day when the vegetarian lunch wasn't available - my kid had to choose one or the other.  Things were a lot better before the free lunches last year - there were frequently multiple cold lunch options available for purchase and these worked for us.  I really hope those will be back this year.  We pretty much just packed a lunch every day last year except for cheese pizza day (but even that would run out by the time the 5th graders got to the cafeteria).[/quote]
