At least it is more than a quarter cup of cereal...and hot lunch...sure would be great if the school did not consider pizza every friday with hotdogs and various other crap thrown in during the week a good nutrious lunch. I would love to send lunch with my kids but right now the private pre-k they go to does not allow that...so, I have to be extra careful at home or the kids end up eating pizza twice in one day...talk about yuck!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12161424147949778910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201577030379856589.post-12575176803281081452008-02-06T07:44:00.000-08:002008-02-06T07:44:00.000-08:00In total agreement on the point.

If the boys don't eat their lunch in school, they don't get to eat it when they get home (typically shortly before dinner). <BR/><BR/>We try to avoid letting them buy lunch altogether. The daily alternate "Bagel Bag" choice is a brown bag containing a bagel, a packet of cream cheese, and an apple or banana. To Lars' complete delight, you can trade the cream cheese for butter and the fruit for a roll! In two quick trades, you can go from a marginally healthy lunch to a meal of carbs, fat, and carbs! <BR/><BR/>@round: be glad Canada has public health instead of school lunches...and if America ever gets public health?
