[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools have to educate our children. There’s a cafeteria to serve some kind of food, if you choose to go that route. If you “have” to get government-supplied free lunch for your child, you too get what the cafeteria is serving.

The bottom line is, the school is serving food and if that’s what your kid is getting, whether because of your preference or your income, that’s what they’re getting.

If you want to be choosier, send your kid with lunch from home. You had kids; feeding them what you want them to eat is on you. Otherwise, you get what you get. [/quote]

Thank you for pointing out the obvious. We don't buy the school lunch. But families who can't afford that option deserve good food, too. [/quote]

They deserve food. They cannot specify what kind of food. If they want to specify, they must provide it themselves.

I come from a home where both my parents grew up poor and they did what they had to (and did without luxuries) to ensure we ate nutritiously. But they sure as heck didn’t feel they were entitled to dictate what someone else served.[/quote]
