[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m good for myself, for the kids with breakfast and dinner. I struggle with school lunch and school snacks. [/quote]

Totally agree.  Our school gives out breakfast to everyone and it’s such crap processed food, my DS already eats breakfast at home but at like 6am and lunch is so late that of course he eats the second breakfast too . And then wants to buy the school lunch half the time which is also crap.  I try to find some solace in the fact that when I do pack lunch, it’s fairly healthy, and miles ahead of what I was eating in the 80s (bologna sandwich on white bread, canned fruit, little Debbie snack).[/quote]

Agree.  I think the free food programs at school are terribly and aren’t battling hunger; just promoting obesity in kids when many are already high risk for obesity as it is.

We do well as a family overall, I think.  I make them breakfast at home (breads are homemade or bought from local scratch bakery), pack their lunches, and cook dinner every night.  I do use deli meat occasionally, but the organic nitrate-free kind.  I also buy pretzels, crackers, and granola bars as snacks (kind bars, natural fig bars, perfect bars).  I also buy plain Cheerios.  But that is pretty much the extent of what we eat that would be ultra processed.  We eat a lot of vegetarian meals, some chicken and fish, very little red meat, usually a whole grain item with dinner, lots of fruits and vegetables.  Desserts are usually homemade or from a good bakery (that doesn’t use shortening or junk ingredients). [/quote]
