[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well...I think the worst thing about the new lunches is that although they are "healthy", they taste disgusting according to my kids and the portion sizes are too small, especially for growing boys.

In past years, my kids wanted to buy lunch at least half of the time.  This year, they ask maybe once a month, usually during breakfast for lunch day.

Whatever they have done to those lunches to make them fit the anti-fat kid campaign is a huge fail.[/quote]

Totally agree.  IMO, they are TOO "healthy" and don't have enough options that kids actually like.  If you actually have lunch with your child, you will be sickened -- not from the food --- which is PLENTIFUL -- but from the amount that is wasted!  OMG.  The kids throw at least 50% of the food away, and sometimes more.  I wish they would go back to making sloppy joes and chicken with noodles and serving REAL french fries or tater tots instead of some "sweet potato rounds" that no one will eat.  And what the heck is jicama????  Seriously?  Stick with the normal fruits and veggies.  Most kids won't eat but a bite anyway.  At least make it something they know.

My kids don't even like the pizza!  Seriously.  School lunches are NOT the cause of obesity, I'm 100% certain of that.  Kids are overweight/obese b/c of the volume of food they eat at home (and yes, a lot of it is chips and sodas).  I wish the school would stop trying to make my NON-obese kids "healthy" by serving unappealing food.  I'm not afraid of a little salt, fat, food coloring or sugar.    [/quote]

+1  I don't see that many overweight kids at my kid's school.  I'm not sure who they are making these lunches for, but they don't reflect what the kids are used to eatting.  So much waste![/quote]
