So, have you had one yet? If you have a child in reception this year you soon will, as they are being distributed to over 750,000 parents. They are apparently being published to offer 'key nutritional advice for their children who are starting school for the first time',but they're just school lunch propoganda!! According to their website..'The Little Book was developed in response to a recent piece of research commissioned by the Trust which discovered that parents had a number of concerns when deciding the school meal options for their child.' but this booklet doesn't offer impartial advice about how to choose between healthy school dinners and healthy packed lunches, it just implies school dinners are better than packed lunches. A wasted opportunity to offer advice on how to make packed lunches healthier, instead choosing to quote outrageous statistical 'evidence' that school lunches are best. For example,'72% of children taking school lunch select vegetables, versus only 6% who take a packed lunch'. Check this stat on their website though, and the next line in the survey concluded the packed children were more likely to have fruit, thats not in the booklet however! Also, 'select' is not the same as 'eat' is it? At least with packed lunches I know what my child has left each day (it comes home!)Ever tried to choose school dinners when your child has a dairy allergy? Or pay for four children to eat them? Shall I go on??? Who do I complain to about this, will parents assume that this booklet is factual, accurate and true coming form school, aren't they??
