Many parents don't have a clue because they aren't well educated about healthy eating. There is also the massive issue of healthy food being generally more expensive than unhealthy food.
For families on a low income healthy food can cost 2-3 times more than the "unhealthy" alternatives.

Nonsense, but then again you have already admitted that you eat unhealthily so no surprise about this post!
And no their is no controversy about saturated fat among-st the experts, Monounsaturated fats are FAR healthier and should obviously be encouraged/promoted instead

It's a shame she couldn't remove him from the school before they expelled him. She can then make more of a point of it.
Your child is yours. It DOES NOT belong to the state. The state can make sure you care for your child and don't abuse but does not have total control of it.
Same goes for holidays during term time. I WILL TAKE MY CHILD* OUT OF SCHOOL WHEN I WANT THANKYOUVERYMUCH!**
*If I had one
** Wthin reason, say a couple of weeks a year, which, unless the child is very poor academically can easily be caught up.

I don't really agree with everyone being dictated to about diet just because of a few families that overfeed their kids.
Why should all kids suffer because of a few obese kids? you don't have to eat super healthily as long as it's in moderation and you get enough exercise.

I find it funny how people (in general) get hung up on the fats aspect when the real problem is sugars and carb intake resulting in the body not using the fats properly that actually causes the problem, moderate fat intake and reduced carbs IIRC is a lot better than going silly and knocking out all the fats you can.
EDIT: Obviously some fats are worse for you than others and its not something you should ignore either.

What is boring about a good lunch box? If anything it will benefit the kids in their studies no? Fresh food and drink certainly made (and still makes) me feel more awake and able to think sharper and I know a lot of other people are exactly the same.
The boy was expelled because of the mother's actions which is a bit harsh those are the rules for that school
Parents don't realise that the children belong to the government, not them.
Let's not kid ourselves that we have the right to choose for ourselves. Let's instead be grateful that the wisdom of the government tells us the way we should live. Submit. The government only wants what's best.

Chips in a cone with coleslaw was my balanced lunch time diet.
We had a similar problem at my sons primary school...after a couple of meetings with the headteacher, a letter from our legal representative and a discussion with the diocese the school decided that my sons (healthy, balanced) lunchbox was suitable after all. (The head left on health grounds soon after also)...the entire row was over a penguin bar we put into our sons lunchbox along with his chicken salad, Apple and Orange Juice. And this at a school, whose school lunch program served chips and pizza once a week on their menu, along with a range of processed foods on other days.
Ironically that school now has a school tuck shop which sells a range of snack foods including crisps and chocolate...but that's ok because proceeds go to local charities.
Luckily his current school has a sensible healthy eating program that recognises the entirety of a child's lunchbox should be considered before any kind of judgement is made. Chocolate is not unhealthy in a balanced diet....and neither is eating a bag of cheddars.
And excluding a child of 6, let alone expelling him (as well as withdrawing his siblings nursery place) is immature, pointless and harmful to the wellbeing of the child in far more ways than having a bag of cheddars at lunchtime. What on earth is that head teacher doing?, it sounds as if they are intentionally punishing the child as a proxy because the parents went to the press...

It's political correctness gone mad. Typical government social scientist doctrine, moving the educational goalposts to rewrite history and suit their political masters' fascist liberal ideology. Where is the proof for this claim that Mini Cheddars are no longer a vegetable? No wonder people are turning to Creationism - get us out of the EU now!
Disgraceful that a school that receives taxpayers money expels kids over a lunchbox, especially when there is no medical evidence that a bag of mini cheddars causes any harm what so ever.
I have never seen any evidence to back up these claims. At what supermarket does a carrot cost more than a chocolate bar?

Ok boring was the wrong word but Id certainly be interested to know how many kids prefer an apple over mini cheddars
I do agree I feel much more awake after "healthy" food and water. Yet I will never say no to a pizza or takeaway.
I still don't believe anything should be forced on anyone. Diet is somthing that should be taught not enforced. If anything preventing children from their unhealthy option will make them pig out more once they get home when they don't have any rules and regs over what they can and cannot eat.
