School lunches. Why kids hate them? email this discussion to a friend?

We have several school age children ranging from elementary to high school. All of them tell us they hate the school lunches. Now thinking back 25 years ago I never seen it as a choice to refuse to eat lunch. Back in the 70's you went to cafeteria with your class, they handed you a tray, they slopped food on it and you was epected to eat it. Now the way I understand it these school age children have an abundence of choices for what they want to eat....hamburger, pizza, hotdogs, and the list goes on and on. But yet todays kids hate school lunch and many refuse to eat it. Is it the choices is less choices better? Us 40 somethings would have died to have pizza everyday!

i've never had school lunches in my school i remember watching tv shows about school lunches and looking at my own cold small sandwhich and wishing i could have warm meals like those kids on tv.

isnt it strange how now the kids would prefer to take their lunch than to eat a hot school lunch. How times have changed.

Too many choices are not good for children for any meal of the day. Our lunches were packed by parents from home and so we had no choice than to eat what is packed. Now I have my children, but they are small. Yet, I find that too many choices are not good or healthy. Pizza, hotdogs are other fries are for specials occassions. I order them only when we go out as family. Else, I cook melas at home and my children eats with no refusal.

at home i fix a meal and my children are expected to eat what is cooked too but the schools here think offering 3 different choices of the lunch is better. I dont agree with the school, if givin a choice children will typically not pick a healthy choice

My son's school gives them the choice of the hot item of the day or a ham sandwich or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Most of the time my son will eat what is the main choice, but once in awhile he will do the PB&J.

shockedI was shocked to find out my daughters school dont use peanut butter any more! They use something called SunButter??? Not having a clue what this was i made the mistake of asking my daughter what the world is SunButter? She responded it is fake peanut butter...... looks like watered down peanut butter but dont taste nothing like peanut butter. Hmmmmmmmmm so now im curious what the school is feeding our children in this fake stuff? Is it more nutrious or is it a matter of cost?
