[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our school you can tell the school what your child is not allowed to have from the cafeteria. Just tell the teacher. [/quote]

That has to be at schools where not everyone gets free lunch and some students are paying for their meals. If the school offers free lunch the school can't decline to give a student the lunch even if the parent prefers they don't eat it unless there are food allergies or some medical reason.

California just implemented universal meals in schools. Every student in public K-12 schools are provided breakfast and lunch for free. It doesn't matter your income. I think this is great idea because no child is stigmatized for getting free lunch, or for forgetting their money. All students are eating the same thing. It motivates kids who are picky to try new foods. The entire community can put pressure on schools to serve good meals. Many California school menus are improving with universal meals. Even the worst school lunch isn't that bad. It has to be nutritionally balanced and can't have excess sugar or salt. [/quote]
