[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here with an update. Well we got through the first week of packed lunches. I'm happy to report that my son has actually been eating his lunch every day. I feel a lot better about packing his lunches now because the food isn't going to waste. I don't mind cleaning it up or shopping for it either, as long as he is actually eating it! He also hasn't been coming home complaining that he's hungry each day either. His class has a very late lunch. They don't get to eat until like 1:30 or so. I guess by that time he is pretty hungry since he has breakfast at home at like 7:30 or 8 am. He hasn't even asked me once if he could buy the school lunch. Sorry to anyone that was offended by my rant about wanting the free lunches, I was just getting anxiety about summer coming to an end and having to deal with all the stresses that come with being back to school.

Glad to hear it is working out so far.  I think the reason you got a lot of negativity is that you gave the impression that because your son wasn't eating, that he should get a free lunch.  A picky eater is not the reason to qualify, low income is.  If you think the qualifying income amount should be changed, there are avenues to register a complaint.[/quote]

Lol, well, I didn't think he SHOULD get it, I just WISHED he could. It was just my feeling of dread and frustration about summer coming to an end and having to do all the shopping and packing etc again. But yeah, it's not like we are rich and can afford buying it every day, and even if we could, $3 a day is way not worth it for what they are serving. I wouldn't bother asking them to change the qualifying income amount, my logic tells me that this would just lead to another price increase for the cost of lunches without any improvement in the quality of what they are serving.
