[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I want to thank everyone for chiming in here. it has really been helpful to me. I currently involve my daughter in meal selection and cooking at home. I will just continue to encourage healthy eating at home, and give up at school. I will try and encourage fruits for breakfast before school. Thanks again.

I wish I were rich and could afford private school. But given my pocket book, I think this is the best approach. Hang in there fellow moms![/quote]

That's the right call, OP, good for you. If she's eating healthy meals AND SNACKS outside of school, one meal a day isn't going to make a difference nutritionally even if was the junkiest of the junky school meals. And our Sodexo menu isn't great, but it's also not bad. The menu on paper looks great (chana masala, tofu, multiple veggie side options), but it's the most airplane food style processed version you can imagine. Some kids love it and some hate it, but it's still not BAD compared to the corndogs and crinkle cut fries we ate. Letting her make her own choices and not trying to control her food intake is much more important than what she's actually eating. [/quote]
