[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh. We pack lunches for a picky eater and a food allergy kid. My preference is that they just eat something (anything!) during the school day, and they wouldn't touch almost anything served at our school for lunch. We can get more nutritious food into them at breakfast and dinner, I just want water and calories into them at lunch.[/quote]

Allergies aside, see this is what I (PP) mean: Should we give them an easy option because they're picky? Or - as I think I see it - are they picky because we give them an easy alternative? This all starts very early, about when we top off a lunches for a 6 month old with Goldfish and a bottle of milk. I refused to go that route. I've always been very explicit about this with my kids, who do occasionally (though very rarely) come home hungry. I never insists they eat it all and they absolutely have the right to fast.

Just to reiterate, I feel this is a parenting decision, one that comes in very similar shapes and forms when it comes to sleep, play, homework, and other probably more important choices in life.[/quote]
