Teenagers are arguing that it isn't and they should have two hot meals a day.
We have bread and sandwich fixings (lettuce, tomatoes, meat, cheese, peanut butter etc) and fruit. Also beans and eggs that they can have on toast instead if they want. They can have as much sandwich stuff as they want so long as it is fairly balanced... i.e. no just eating five eggs and no veggies or half the fruit in the bowl.
They say it isn't a 'proper meal'.
My argument is that
- please save the other food for family dinners
- too expensive to eat two big hot meals a day. Two teen boys at home all summer can get very expensive.
- it has the same nutrition... carbs, protein, vitamins, calories etc as a full meal.
