[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son often buys two lunches. I think the portions are the same for kindergarten as they are at middle school - and maybe even high school! Makes me feel bad for the kids who are on free/reduced lunch though. These kids are growing like crazy and burning through tons of calories. I think the cafeteria food in FCPS is a disgrace. It's all just microwaved in plastic and the quality is atrocious.

I know they hired someone new to try to improve them but I'm doubtful. [/quote]

The breakfast portions are large.  The kids aren't going to go hungry surviving on school food.[/quote]

And many kids don’t eat the fruits and vegetables that come with the lunch option. They would help fill them up as well.[/quote]

It's b/c canned slimey-looking peaches are unappetizing and the raw carrots look like they were set-out and re-refrigerated at least 3x already. 
That's why most kids don't eat the fruits and veggies.[/quote]

I’m the PP, even post-COVID there are either apples, orange slices, or bananas available everyday. The veggies are always either carrots, celery, cauliflower, or broccoli florets - with ranch dressing as an option. The carrots can look unappealing at times, but there are other options.[/quote]
