[quote=Anonymous]Well, which is it? If he wants broccoli for dessert, then he won't be interested in his friends' fries and chips, right? Okay, so YOU want him to eschew the chips and fries for broccoli, and he's going to go bonkers because you never gave him those things before. Welcome to parenting.

In all seriousness, different food providers have different levels of healthiness, despite their claims to all offer healthy meals. What most of us do is give our kids a healthy breakfast so they're not that interested in the school breakfast. Then pack the lunch that you want him to have, realizing that there's going to be some food sharing going on. Maybe allow him to purchase one meal a week (clutching your pearls with white knuckles is acceptable).

If you're at a WotP school, chances are good that most families will also be sending the healthy lunches of your dreams, so your biggest concern should be whether you are teaching your child how to make smart food choices or whether you are setting up unhealthy foods as a forbidden fruit. Good luck, I'm sure your kid will do fine.[/quote]
