I agreed with California when they took soda machines and unhealthy food dispensers from elementary and middle schools, but checking the food parents send to school with their kids seems inconsistent with democracy to me.

Shh! This is Britain, it's a constitutional monarchy :p
 
:sl:

The sugarcompanies will always have a firm grip on the market, no matter what.

Also, I was rather suprised; those schoollunches in Britain were just plain disgusting, how can that have been going on for so long?

Eh...The pizza at my school is a more obvious form of heart attack. All you do is pick it up and grease gushes out...It's like squeezing a wet sponge. It's so scary...>.< That's why I don't eat the school's lunch...I go to the library instead, and come on here. XD

Your school's a bit slow then...:rollseyes Soon your school will have to scrap unhealthy foods and move to the healthy foods. My sister's school only serves healthy meals, mostly consisting of vegetables and orange juice.

The quicker all the schools act on this the better.

i'm with you on this one. i think it's a bit creepy for teachers to be snooping in kids' lunch boxes. what next - are they going to dictate to the parents what to put in there or threaten to charge them with child neglect?
better to educate the parents - sometimes people don't know that something healthier would be cheaper.
 
I'm all for healthy eating, but some of the old school meals just tasted like dirt, no flavour ect, so the chippy across the road was tempting or the local junk food dealer :D
 
Poor kids, I bet the fat kids will smuggle their burgers n chocolare bars in somehow. Perhaps thier parents can throw them over the fence at lunch time.

I really don't feel like going offtopic, but some years back - the headteacher walked into our classroom and started searching a girl in our class, and even her bag because she had a mobile phone.

I didn't even know that was allowed. Everyone was proper shocked subhan Allaah.


Sorry for going offtopic, it just reminded me of the idea of teachers searching through peoples bags and stuff.

Bags and that are checked all the time now. Even my workplace they check your bags before you leave now and then..
 
Yeah ^ it's just that they did that kind of cop search on her, just because they heard a rumour that she had a phone with her.

That's not allowed I don't think.... My school allowed us to bring mobile phones. We weren't allowed to use them during lessons though.

They even let us bring those cyber pets too lol

lol cyber pets were next level, always needed to feed em. And when the battery dies, all your hard work wears out.. unless you did it to please God, lol. Kinda reminds you of this world.


Anyway lol everyone was proper undercover after that, no-one used their phonez infront of others. But no offtopics so my bad.
 
At my son's school and all the others in my county there are limits to every meal. They can't go over a certain calorie and fat content. That is really great but it really bothers me that if they run out of lunch money they can only have fruit and veggies. Neither of these will my son eat unless they are fresh and not that crappy canned stuff, so he went fully without lunch!!!!! They claim they do this because it is cheaper. But I talked to the lunch manager and she said a PB&J sandwich is cheaper!!!!

Yeah canned veggies and fruits(the kind that is in nothing but sugar syrup...ewwww)
USA-North Carolina, not sure if it is statewide or just the area I live in though.
 
I think back and look at how schools have changed since I was in grade school in the 1940s.

Back then us students had asolutly no rights. All personal property brought to school was subject to be taken away. No lunches were brought from home. This was pre-junk food days so the school lunches were more like a real meal. Prepared in accordance with the nutritional guides of the time.

No snack machines, no leaving the school grounds, I think we just had one rule and that was:

"It is forbidden"
