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.
