We are currently looking at primary schools for DD1. On a tour today, we were given a sample menu for lunch. Every day had a sweet pudding, and I don't mean yoghurt and fruit style things - I mean cookies, cake, custard.

Fine once a week or whatever, but every day?

At first I thought it was just this school and it put me off, but I have just looked online at sample menus for two other primaries we are going to see and they are the same.

It is worrying me as DD has eczema and whilst I don't know the cause, it seems to be exacerbated when she has lots of sugar. At home we try to limit this.

I thought schools had all become lunchbox police! What happened?!

My son is in reception and can confirm that it's not cake as we know it. I asked him what flavour cake he'd had after lunch and apparently it was a 'no taste cake' He normally has fruit now!
