[quote=Anonymous]The food is really abysmal and I wouldn’t trust it at all anyway.  Unless you need the free meals for financial reasons I would definitely just bring lunch.  Your middle schooler is old enough to pick, prepare and pack their lunch with a little supervision from you.  If the finances aren’t an issue, this is a way better option.

Also different point but I have a friend that runs a private school for low income families and they ended up decided to opt out of the federal food aid, although they desperately needed the money, because it was nearly impossible to come up with menus that the teens would eat that also met the federal requirements which are incredibly nit picky.  They decided that given the food insecurity in their students homes and the need for them to be able to focus on their studies at school, they were better off getting food the kids would actually eat.  They keep adding new requirements to the school lunch program and  it’s incredibly difficult to comply with them.  [/quote]
