Now I will say, she is right. Lunch was a homemade PBJ, GoGurt, some crackers and a Welch's fruit snack packet. I hadn't really realized that this is, in fact, all processed food. So, the good news is that I am now aware an will be packing fruit/veggie.
But...wtf teach? Seems odd that she would say something like that to my kids.

Started out the year with fruits and veggies included, but since most of them were kinda gross at the end of the day we no longer include them. We even tried the gogurt type things and those weren't getting touched. So, he now gets a carb/protein lunch and finishes it + has fruits/veggies as soon as he gets home. When I've been at his school during lunch, most of his table brings lunchables or buys, so I still think his pb + honey sandwich is a little better.
I am totally with you on the "distractin" but have to say he has gotten much better as the year goes on. Actually, the one thing she won't always eat is the crackers. Sometimes she won't always finish her milk.

Well, they have ingredients that aren't great: modified corn starch (likely GMO), artificial colors like red #40, carrageenan. Non organic milk used to make the yogurt, so they likely come from cows treated with antibiotics and hormones.
OK, so stonyfield farm in a cup with a spoon? Is that better? I'm not the OP, just seriously asking...

sounded fine to me.
maybe she is one of those people who has time to go to the grocery store 3x a week and gloat about it.
