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!!!!
Are u serious G?
That's just wrong..
What county do you live in? Here in Onslow, they don't do that...They don't even give you fruit or PB&J if you don't have money. You're not allowed to charge anything, either, so if you forget your lunch money one day, you're out of luck. >.<
Wake county..I know I know!!!!
That is really crappy!!! How can they not let kids eat?????
I would have every parent in the county marching up to the school board!!!!!! I am actually in the process of trying to get the PTA to back me in changing the policy here![]()
BTW- Didn't know you were from NC too!!! What a small world![]()
I think back and look at how schools have changed since I was in grade school in the 1940s.
Back then us students had asolutely 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.
