to think Hula Hoops in a Friday packed lunch is ok...

[MerryMarigold]

OK. So ds1 went on packed lunches this week. He's had healthy lunches all week. Today he had a sandwich (2 slices of thick sliced wholemeal bread), 3 cherry tomatoes, raisins and [shock, horror] a packet of ready salted Hula Hoops as a treat 'cos it's Friday and wanted to give him a little treat at the end of the week.

So, they confiscated his crisps!

This was part of his packed lunch. No replacement given so he just had to not have part of his lunch. No-one has told me that you can't have crisps. One boy has chocolate spread sarnies and a pepperami every day. And this ok. School dinner on fridays is Fish & Chips.

OK, so I know you'll say I need to get over myself. But is this common in schools? Are Hula Hoops really damaging to children?
