[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, perhapsb those would be more popular. But it's pretty amazing what kids will enjoy once they get used to it. I've only heard raves about Lee's food and comments like "why don't we eat stuffed peppers more at home?" Can't wait till the kid takes over meal prep completely!  (Fwiw kid also loves hot dogs and chicken nuggets, definitely not a super taster.)[/quote]

I wish there were options. My family doesn't eat pork and because there are no options, DC will always have to pack a lunch on pulled pork sandwich days. I also have to be on too if the menu to know when those days are. No requests for stuffed peppers at home and no go at school either.  Healthy pizza, quesadilla, Caesar salad...those would work. [/quote]

apparently there are vegetarian options offered that aren't on the menu yet - the menu is still a work in process.  I just send some lentils or beans and rice to supplement.  But  I don't want my kid eating refined white flour on a daily basis (lots of new research about how refined carbs affect hormone levels and may be the real culprit in obesity and heart disease). I was so excited to see the original menu though the "tinkering" means that this menu probably won't last long.  I imagine we'll end up where you want to be, and I'll end up in a  struggle with my child to eat the lunch I send instead of the school lunch (he would happily eat stuffed peppers or "healthy" pizza, but he'd choose the pizza every time if it was a choice).[/quote]

who says quesidillas or pizza have to be made with refined white flour?[/quote]
