[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since you insist on your kid buying, they have options in MS.

Salad, potatos, cauliflower, fruits, other veggies, yogurt and fruit.

They CAN find something to eat.  THey just may not like it.[/quote]

It’s basically zero protein there, you know.[/quote]

Salads can have cheese on it, or meat.  Some veggies have protien, yogurt has protein.  Kid can go without protien for one meal.  They aren't going to cater.  Point is there is something that can be eaten.  If you don't like it, you pack your kids lunch like the rest of us.[/quote]

Salads are also significant contributors to inflammatory disease. Also, not all the salads can be modified gluten free, and they aren’t all offered every day[/quote]

Are you kidding?  Basic salads are glutten free.[/quote]

Sometimes, the dressing contain wheat. The chicken salad ones use breaded chicken.[/quote]

OP already indicated that "modular" lunches would be acceptable, or even a burger with a removable bun.  So if residue isn't an issue, then you take off the chicken.  You eat your salad with salt and pepper, or any other condiment acceptable to you.  Then you have a healthy snack when you get home.  Or you pack your lunch.  There is no way that OP comes out in the right on this issue.  If it's not food insecurity at stake (home renovations don't provide FARMS status), then the obligation of the school is to provide the safest feasible situation where the student can eat their own food that they bring in that is safe for them.[/quote]
