I think a lot of parents pack lunch to save money or control what their kids eat.


+1 My kids are fairly picky but generally happy with the school lunches. I think it has helped them eat a wider variety of foods. There were changes a few years ago to make them healthier, like switching to whole grain pizza crust. DS doesn't like the new pizza but he likes most of the other options.

It sounds like the quality of Arlington school lunches is low?

That is really disappointing.
