My son is in his last year as a home-schooled student. But when he did attend school, years back, the food wasn't too appetizing. I saw most kids throw it away. I think it has gotten a bit better due to the trend to eat healthier. BTW, when I was in school way back in the late '60s and '70s, I never bought lunch from the cafeteria!!!
Let's face it school lunch is boring, with no flavor added to it!
Their food is gross! Lots of carbs and very little veggies or protein....unless they are offering a salad bar!
They do a great job of keeping the food healthy and making the students want to eat it.
They have a lot of healthy foods but sometimes I think they are given a lot of chicken but comes in a variety of ways & flavors. They also are given fruits and vegetable. My kids usually eat at school and if it's something they don't want or will eat they bring a lunchbox.
more tasty and flavourful will be nice
The food is healthy but it sure doesn't taste good.
I would enjoy the selection myself, but my child doesn't like that some teachers tell kids they have to eat their food. Also, they have to take a fruit and a vegetable. My child packs most days because she doesn't like this. Neither do I. I think she should be able to eat only what she wants & would rather her not take it if she won't eat it.
My son has taken cold lunch to school for 12 years and will do so his senior year.
over cook and dry lunch
