AIBU to think school dinners are too much (food wise)?

[DragonPies]

There's always something like fish & chips, pie & mash, etc. and then a desert!

DD then has a dinner (around 6pm) and I feel like it's way too much. She's even getting a bit chubby.

I appreciate that I can stop school dinners (which I will be doing) but they shouldn't be giving kids stuff that could make them put on weight, surely?

Just reminiscing now. My pack lunch as a kid was wholemeal bread sandwich with protein (egg or fish usually). Plus a peice of fruit and a lunp of cheese. Nothing else.

School lunches - which we never had were pizza beans and chips. Sponge with pink custard for pudding.

Ha, I have to laugh at healthy lunchboxes. DS's always came back with only the filling out of the sandwich eaten and nothing else. Given that he's underweight that was not good.

At least at school i know he will eat the hot food and has vegetable soup every day.

I know he does eat well at school as I'm in regular contact with the dinner lady due to his severe allergies.
