letter home for kale "crisps"

[sPJPPp]

Wtf, dd6 has a letter about the schools healthy lunch box policy after sending in kale crisps (raw, vegan and air dried). They are just kale and sunflower seeds with some BBQ flavours (parprika and tamari).

is this a not so stealth boast?

Can you cross out the word "crisps" on the packet and write in "air dried vegan salad"?

Aye very good

I am probably very biased here, but I think it's a typical example of school facism.

Write a letter asking them to define, in writing, a crisp.

If you want to be less confrontational, just tell them they are not deep fried and what's in them.
My son has been given white bread, baked beans and jelly for a 'healthy' school lunch, ffs.

YANBU.

Is be inclined to return it with some helpful advice about choosing food wisely

Send DD6 to school with some non dried kale and a packet of store bought crisps along with a letter asking the school if they can tell the difference?

In a more constructive mode - is there a blanket ban on crisps at the school to make it easier to police ?

Stealth boast fine by me

Aye very good
^^
Yep.

I totally agree! And I can believe that was given as a healthy lunch. I'm tempted to get my marker pen out and adjust their patronising letter. I don't usually send in shop bought kale crisps, but they were on offer so bought a few at the weekend.

The other children will have been jealous, and they don't want fighting in the dinner hall.

Tip them out of the bag into another container.

Nobody will know they're "crisps" then, as presumably they look like flakes of bright green.

Are you sure your child didn't forge the note?

It's political correctness gorn mad I tell ya! let's not talk about me being ticked off by school for pitching up at lunchtime with a box of KFC for ds1

Canyouforgiveher; I think I love you

Are you sure your child didn't forge the note?

!!!!

Haha you have obviously never had kale crisps!

Are you sure your child didn't forge the note?

Ha ha ha!!

Seriously, I have.

That's why I found it so funny

YANBU though. They obviously thought they were normal nice crisps.

Kale crisps are delicious, the dc's steal them off me.

Pity they're ££££.

How on earth do you make crisps out of kale ?
I can see the process of thinly slicing potatoes and frying baking them etc to make crisps, but how the foofy do you make crips out of kale - which is basically posh cabbage.

Dice up fresh kale, toss in a bit of oil and salt and roast til crisp. Delicious. Not expensive.

They sound nice to.me! Where.do you buy them?

YANBU and I'd probably go in and point out how 1. everything in moderation is fine and my child isn't going to become magically obese at a fried kale and 2. how hypocritical they're being
