What do your secondary school children eat for lunch?

[hairyheadphones]

DS has just started year 7, he’s not picking any healthy options at lunch.
DS tends to get donuts/waffle at break time and then a hot dog or pizza or some nachos or very occasionally pasta for lunch.

What do your year 7s eat and do you try to guide their choices a little?

Mine have packed lunch. DD used to have dinners but chose to spend the money on cakes mostly (good old parentpay dobbing her in!) so I said no more!

Mine has packed lunch. He makes his own, normally a wrap, a piece of fruit and a cake bar/bag of crisps.
He said the school dinners aren't very nice and has always taken his own.

Packed lunches. Queues are too horrific, they don’t get a chance to eat if they have school lunches.

Packed lunches as neither of them want to join the huge queue and therefore not get to sit by their friends.

I used to eat brownies/burgers at break and skip lunch at high school before buying chocolate at the corner shop on my walk home facilitated by either being given money for lunch by my parents, or saving up my lunch money if I had a packed lunch. I used to eat my sandwich on the walk to school too!! And then at sixth form, to town we went for fish and chips nearly everyday!!!

Dr used yo eat crap, never bothered me, she got free meals and ate a balanced diet at home

Flapjack mostly it seems. Occasionally with fruit salad. Very little savoury on offer that DD will eat. Will only eat cold food at school - queue for hot food ridiculously long.

Pizza, cake & fizzy water. Every day. Sometimes has cheese on toast at break time.

Both mine take a packed lunch

Ds2 doesn't eat anything until he gets home. Dd has fruit or pasta.

Mine brings in a packed lunch. Sandwich, smoothie, cheese, apple/banana and yoghurt drink
