[quote=Anonymous]Not in DC, but my DD’s friend has a single mom who often has to work early hours and they live with the girl’s grandma too. The friend typically has lunchables and something like Oreo cookies. I have no idea if that’s fastest for the mom, easiest for the grandmother, or if the girl packs her own lunch. There’s not a lot of variety in our school lunches and they don’t seem that healthful, but I don’t know why they don’t do school lunches. I don’t really care except my DD constantly asks for them. I don’t want to get them because (a) a lot of plastic waste (b) they seem high in fat and sodium (but maybe no worse than whatever I make?) and (c) seem more expensive. I’ve tried sending her with similar ingredients some days, but she’s still intrigued. I just tell her “I don’t want to buy that” and when she asks why her friend gets to have them I just say “different families make different choices.”[/quote]
