[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure where your child is starting but lunch is so short that it's better to just bring lunch anyway most days especially in K when they probably need more time to eat it.  Once or twice a week my child buys lunch. They do allow parents to put some restrictions on what a child can buy through FCPS and you can check the purchase log to be sure they are buying what you've agreed is appropriate.  [b]There is a movement to make the lunches better. It's called Real Food for Kids or something close to that.[/[/b]quote]

They need to make it taste better, and give more realistic portion sizes for kids.

The lunches are gross.

My kids like healthy food that tastes fresh and healthy.  They also like junk food that tastes good but has very little redeeming nutritional value.  The lunches this year are none of those things.

The lunch sizes for a 5th or 6th grader is the same as for a kindergartner, yet the caloric needs of a pre-teen boy is way above what one would expect a 5 year old to eat.  Even if the food was edible and tasty, there is just not enough of it to appropriately feed a pre-teen boy.

The changes they have made in fcps lunches over the past year or so are not positive changes.[/quote]
