Wow, so judgmental! Why are you so invested in what other people's children eat? (Or is it really all about patting yourself on the back for having "good" eaters? LOL!) Some might say that a truly loving parent would be concerned if their child did not eat lunch, or a good parent would pack a healthy lunch rather than dining on DCPS-provided swill (remember the Chartwells debacle)?.

Glad you asked. We're all paying  a price for suboptimal parenting choices when it comes to food, not least in the form of skyrocketing medical costs. Of course there isn't one "right" way and when referring to "parenting choice" that implies there are various different ways to effectively parent our children, inside and outside the school walls, regarding food, health and other relevant aspects.
On a separate but related note, I find it always interesting to see how some of the same parents call for schools and governments to play a bigger role in "parenting" the supposedly downtrodden ("more boarding schools", as someone cried on a recent thread) but when it comes to "us" deny any connection about those two worlds - at home it's (supposedly) all healthy, at school it's just about calories and water. Very hypocritical if you ask me and maybe worth a second thought. (Lecture closed.)[/quote]
