To think school are way out of line with this.

Email (screenshot attached) received yesterday from primary school. Child confirms that this actually occurred on Friday (single use containers and all). AIBU to want an explanation from school because I’ve no idea how this is in any way beneficial to the children. Notwithstanding childhood obesity and plastic pollution issues.

Surely they could have been served in paper wraps like traditional chippy tea?

The use of disposable products is dreadful.
Our school has done that a couple of times when they had a problem with the water supply or the dishwasher was broken but once a week is a dreadful waste.

Six year old me would be thrilled

Not sure now about the plastic though, but couldn't get too worked up over the food.

Wtf??? That's madness

The marketing is definitely awry. But the meals themselves? Not an issue once a week.

They'll all be ovened and crumb coats will be wholemeal too.

Great for vegetarians that.

DS1 school do a fast food Friday, it's basically a choice of burger and chips. I don't have an issue with it. It's only one meal out of 21 he has a week.

Mip Erm, fish?

What are the kids who don't eat meat supposed to eat?

Erm, fish?
Vegetarians don't eat fish. Pescatarians eat fish.

It's not true.

Fast food establishments don’t use polystyrene?

Mip Erm, fish?

say what now?

Ours does this once a year and I’m fine with it, but I’d be very unhappy about it happening every week.

LOL. 0.5/10 for effort OP.

I find this literally impossible to believe. No vegetables? Is this a UK state school?

Our county's schools have chip day on a Friday.

I'd be appalled at the single use polystyrene though. I'm surprised the teachers haven't spoken up, because I certainly would have.

@sneakygremlins massive faux pas there.

I agree food is fine I don’t think this is worth worrying about

Did everyone miss Mips

My school does Fish Fridays. It is the only day that chips are available (oven cooked) and there is always a vegetarian option too....yesterday was a delicious roasted vegetable flan (I often have a school dinner).

So... the menu wouldn’t bother me but the single use containers would make me very angry 😡 that is very wrong.

Fish have faces.

Just because they aren’t liste. Doesn’t mean they aren’t there. Our menu flyers for Friday just say “Fish Friday” BUT it doesn’t mention the jacket potato option, the salad bar, the veg options (last week I had peas and sweet corn, yesterday I had veggie stuff anyway), fresh fruit and yogurt, as these are all available every day anyway.

I apologise!

All the "vegetarians" I know (about 5/6) eat fish too.
