The issue with kids having lunch boxes prepared by their parents is that the kids are completely dependent on their parent's abilities to serve them a balance d

  A bigger issue with trying to force meal choices is that you are then attempting to raise the kid instead of allowing the parents to do so. Just because you don't agree with how a parent decides to feed their child, doesn't give you the right to arbitrarily take away their choice.

    >Just because you don't agree with how a parent decides to feed their child // It's not a simple decision - here in the UK I would have my kids eat school meals most days (perhaps miss the meal they anticipate to be least appetising and instead make their own). Instead they have packed lunch [aka bagged lunch] nearly every day because we can't afford the school dinner. I'm afraid it is really necessary to provide a decent school meal for many children in order to ensure they have some chance at a moderately healthy meal once a day.

    You always have the option of preparing food to your kids. If you feel what you give them is better than what they get at school then of course, it's a no brainer. On the other hand, if it's chore to take the time to prepare and cook their meals, and if school was presenting an affordable alternative, why wouldn't use it? No-one is forcing the kids to eat at school, no-one is taking away the parent's choice.

  Call me daft but feeding their child is the kind of thing that parents typically do school or no.
