This. Also, at least at our school, you can select a vegetarian or kosher options which is often a bit healthier (if you are worried about the lunch being too meat-heavy). But the school lunch always includes multiples servings for fruit/veggies, a protein, and a whole grain. That's healthy. It's never going to be the kind of thing you'd serve at home because they are making food for hundreds of kids. But that's good! It means she'll learn to eat different kinds of foods.

My kid won't eat it though, so picky. She won't eat hot foods, combined foods, or anything with meat. Even the vegetarian option is too much for her -- she freaks out over melted cheese. So I pack her lunch but if she started asking for the school lunch I'd be thrilled. Eventually she'll have to pack her own lunch if she wants to take it (she's only 5 now, I do it for her), which might make school lunch look a bit more appetizing![/quote]
