School meals have always been way too expensive - mine always take sandwiches. They sit with their friends and eat their packed lunches. It's not expensive to make a sandwich.I am the Cat who walks alone0

I am not a big fan of daily sandwiches for lunch for young children. Cooked hot lunches are healthier and better for their stomach in the long term.0

Doesn't that depend upon the nutritional value of the cooked and packed lunches? I'd much rather have my tuna salad on wholegrain roll than a canteen burger and chips.There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.
It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.
In every town, in every state. In every house and every gate.
Wth every precious smile you make. And every act of kindness.

some schools have no choice. My younger sons primary was part of a pilot project in west sussex to do away with cooked meals so it was sandwiches only.
Now even if they wanted to change back they cant as the school kitchens were converted into an extra class room.0 -

I was referring for stomach. And that was my opinion and nothing else.0 -

If you saw the dross they feed as an excuse for home cooked food at my dds & ds2 school you may think otherwise:eek:(apart from the cost). I am a sahm with the time to cook very healthy home made food ,so sandwiches for lunch doesnt mean they are missing out on anything for us;).JAN GC- £155.77 out of £200
FEB GC £197.31 out of £180:o. MARCH GC - out of £2000 -

I'd rather do too. Thankfully, my son's school never serves that. Their menu is pretty good and versatile so I don't mind the expense as long as my boy enjoys his food and it keeps him full for the school time and whatever afterschool club he might have that day.0 -
£78 a month isn't much though in the grand scheme of things.Happy chappy0
