more kids need to bring lunch from home, that way they can bring what they want and maybe they would eat it instead of buying a lunch and only eating the cookie.
Question of what had to come first – the chicken or the egg. If it wasn´t for the school shootings and similar events you wouldn´t be so paranoid, so what have to give first :)
No! No! No! You do not understand. There are schools in the Northeast that look into the home packed lunches of the students and force parents to pay for things like chicken nuggets if the “Food Police” deems the lunch does not contain the ordained foods.
My 13 yr old granddaughter makes her own lunch to bring every day. She won’t touch cafeteria food. Where you going to make the baggers eat? In the hall closet?
I really hope that this is not going into the allergen (namely peanut) issue/debate that is going on. Especially, in a negative way. It would not matter I guess… either way it will be or turn negative. There would either be sensitive parents of anaphlactic children (like me). Or insensitive parents who cannot substitute peanut butter or peanut products at school and save them for home.
here in canada, there are NO cafeterias in public schools, there is a LUNCH ROOM or you eat in the classroom, with the lunch you brought from home, or you go home for lunch. In the highschool there is a careteria and you have the choice of bringing your own or buying. Yes they are all peanut free schools, but it is still better than forcing your child to eat something thats factory made and shipped to the school.
At my children’s school in Northeast Ohio they can bring a lunch from home if they don’t like what’s on the menu. No food police – my girls pack twice a week.
When my child was in kindergarten, the teacher told me that I shouldn’t give him a half sandwich of PB&J for a snack (buy milk at the school). I asked , “Why?”…she started talking about peanut allergies. I then wanted to know how many allergy cases they had. The answer was NONE they were preparing- – -just in case! I said to her "Let me know if you actually have a problem, but until then, my kid will only eat PB&J…so, that’s what I’m sending in with him. I really think that the schools are hyper sensitive about a very small problem. The number of people allergic to peanuts, is not very high. There are only a few. Why must the majority suffer for an extremely SMALL minority? Let them eat in another room.

I guess Sunny Bono Elementry doesn’t like homemade lunches.
