These are the choices on dd's 4 week rolling school dinner menu. I can't help thinking that there is too much sugar and fat. They offer fruit or yoghurt every day but my dd is never going to choose to eat fruit when there is cake on the menu. In fact, she would probably go without a pudding if it was only fruit on offer. Dd tells me that she isn't made to eat her vegetables before having her pudding (which is what she has to do at home).
How does this compare to your dc's menu? Please tell me if you think this isn't really an issue and I'm worrying unnecessarily.
