[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it terrible of my to allow my child to eat only a cliff bar and apple for lunch at school. I have spent a ton of time and effort into thinking through creative and healthy lunches, but she never eats them. She says there is no time and/or she is not hungry. She is noise sensitive and a slow eater, so I can see how cafeteria lunch would be tough. The only thing she consistently eats is a cliff bar... Which seems to have protein and some nutrients. She also snacks when she gets home. However. I am feeling a bit guilty.

[b]Additionally. She does not want hot lunch because the line is long and she does not like the food. [/b]

You can thank Michelle Obama for that. My kids hated school lunches when she convinced USDA to  serve food nobody wanted.[/quote]

OP here - actually she hated them before Michelle Obama in K... the DCPS food has always been terrible, all packaged, etc.  She liked it when more fruit and veggies were added in 2nd grade as that is all she would eat.  Also, even with Obama, schools can do better to serve healthy and tasty foods.  I think its the food lobbies that make things so crappy, in addition to the low quality and over priced vendors that make terrible food. DD has no problem eating health food at home.

Sadly DD does not like nuts nor any of the healthier bars.  I am working on going back to the fruit and veggie lunch, but with ADHD she really needs a protein as well.[/quote]
