[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am amazed by these menus..but in the end I would still likely be packing a pb&J for my child who would not find much preferred selection.[/quote]

At some schools, like Sidwell, that isn't allowed. Everyone eats the school lunch. That was true back in my day 25+ years ago as well. In those days the meals were served family style and it was supposed to promote egalitarianism and community.[/quote]

Agree.  No one is allowed to bring a lunch from home at our school.  The school is also teaching your kids nutrition.  If there is only healthy food vs no food, guess which one little Johnny will pick?

My kids went to a co-op school who did snack family style and it was the cutest thing.  Worked on fine motors, social skills, manners, patience, portion control, etc...  Some parents thought it was a waste of time (which I am guessing are those where who think healthy food is a waste) but the majority of the families and ALL of the kids loved it.   In France today, they still eat family style in public schools.  And look at their food values compares to ours.  [/quote]
