[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ehhhh I'm old school, meaning to me cafeteria food is expected to be bad. I grew up hating it and my kids also hate their cafeteria food. While I def would prefer declious, healthy, organic, locally grown, gluten free, nut free, free ranch, grass feed meals at our schools I realize it's not the districts number one priority. Packing lunches is a pain but that's life. At least I am able to provide a decent packed lunch for my kids for there are alot of kids who eat what the school offers for all 3 meals 5 days a week, that's who I feel for, not my kid who can bring his turkey roll up and carrot sticks everyday.[/quote]

I agree, and I would add that districts that have tried to serve "healthy, organic, locally grown, gluten free, nut free, free ranch, grass fed meals" find that they mostly end up in the trash. If it doesn't get eaten, it doesn't matter how good it was for them. People complain about it but I actually commend Montgomery County for trying to make their lunches slightly healthier around the edges (whole wheat dough for the pizza, Morningstar Farms fake chicken patties) while still serving food children actually eat.[/quote]
