Our girl's school has great lunches, looking at today's menu they are having skinless chicken breast, scalloped potatoes, baby carrots, yogurt and choice of milk or juice. Meanwhile the children in public schools will be eating Mooch's slop....or throwing it in the garbage
I read someplace that 70% of the vegetables bought in this country end up in the trash....good intentions, no follow-through. All veggies need to be fun to eat are a little butter and salt.
Our kids love them with the exception of one of the twins, she refuses to eat anything green...I gave up forcing the issue long ago. It's a mental thing with her
"Our kids love them with the exception of one of the twins, she refuses to eat anything green"
You need to remind her she's Irish and thus must eat everything that's green.
Aye lass! Where I grew up, a "typical" sack lunch could be everything from PB&J and chips a and a drink (of course, with a Twinkie) to a fried egg sandwich with two vegetables - and everything in between.
Hell, I recall one time taking a steak sandwich, carrots and Brussels sprouts. The kids thought me insane. Problem was, I always LOVED Brussels sprouts. Go figure....
