[quote=Anonymous]Ha, that's a good one. Dcum is full of funny people today. I don't even think a sandwich made in the morning is fresh enough for my child so I'd rather she eat a slice of pizza straight out of the school reheating oven. Voila! The rest of you are just selfish!

Joking. Leftover simmered balanced homemade anything, of any cultural origin, with more than 4 ingredients, having taken more than half an hour to make, is an amazing advantage to the education and health of a child, and I envy those families who do that frequently. My child gets a healthy balanced variety of much simpler foods in her lunchbox. I simply don't have the time and energy to cook more before (no time), or after (no energy) the kids' bedtime, and I have a lot of guilt for not feeding them more sophisticated dishes often enough, like I was exposed to in the French public school lunches. I would go home and tell my mom about the foods I had at school, and complain that she never made that for me at home. Beets, salsify, endives, quenelles, freshly made soups, a different cheese every day (seriously, it must have been a rotation of at lest 8 different cheese). And everything from scratch.

My opinion is that realistically, the schools should have on-site kitchens, great cooks and great menus. We just can't do as well with the limited amount of time working parents have to devote to cooking, hell, with the limited amount of time parents have outside of working, commuting, parenting, and sleeping.[/quote]
