Tha's read it wrong tha nus

But Ms Critchlow insisted it was not just about promoting junk food as they had several orders for jacket potatoes and salad sandwiches alongside those for burgers and fish and chips.

Parents say they have orders for salad rolls as well as burgers

They're feeding them, but they're not just feeding them junk food...

I bet you chip butties are more popular than salad sandwiches.

Maybe they should put up a sign saying "Please don't feed the animals"?

 

[Gilly]

You'd never find anyone to take that bet, but having said that, if those parents were sending the kids with packed lunches I'm sure there'd be no healthy food in them, not if they're willing to feed their kids crap every day at school.

Which is another point, those not happy to eat the food provided by the school could surely take their own food. Sandwiches and the like.

i was just about to post this, damn near blew my top. how stupid do parents have to be ? if the kids dont like the food, the parents should go to the school and work something out thats healthy and that they will like. idiots.

I think it’s gone too far all this healthy eating in schools. Just scare mongering in my opinion. "Look oh no little Jimmy is having chips in his dinner he'll be dead next week".

If the choice is gone what do schools think will happen. Why not take away everything that could potentially be detrimental to us, perhaps we should just not bother getting out of bed on a morning.

You can't give kids what they want to eat all the time. It's called being a responsible parent.

We were allowed chips once a week at primary school, and twice a week at middle school.

Pathetic. The majority can't manage one meal that isn't crap each day?

The food being served can't be that bad. I bet they're dramatising it because they see eating healthy food as lame or something.

Did you read the article? They're complaining about the time allotted for the meal as well. I know if I'd had half an hour to eat I wouldn't have bothered cos I wouldn't have been able to play footy as well, so footy and no meal would've been the choice.

How on earth can they be chavs?
Chavs don't go to school.

Don't you think its somewhat overcontrolling though? I used to have a sandwich a yoghurt, two choccy biscuits and an apple/banana in my lunchbox. I didn't constantly eat junk and I'm as far from fat as can be?

I think its a bit ridiculous when schools such as my little sisters practically police what they have in their lunchbox.

Half hour is a bit ridiculous too. Young people need time to rest a little, not learn learn learn or they forget half of whats been said surely? We used to have 10 minutes 1 hour and then ten minutes.

Understandable, considering the "quality" of food at school

Depends. Make it tasty and appetising and you can do both.
As in mine always eat what I cook for them, none of the "I want chips" or whatever rants.

If I haven't decided yet what I'm cooking, it's Chicken Surprise.
"There's no chicken in this!"
"That's the surprise"

The dinner ladies were actively checking lunchboxes and advising parents that the lunchboxes were unhealthy if they deemed it so. (Just checked with mother too and she said thats correct)

I'd have told them to go screw. As a kid and as a parent
