Kids at primary school grtting certificates for having a healthy packed lunch...

[DrNortherner]

Yuor thoughts on this please?

DS's school have just introduced this and it's not sitting well with me.

Feel sorry for the kids who won't get one when it's nothing to do with them or their behavious.

Any thoughts welcomed.

There was a thread about this a couple of weeks ago, started by morningpaper I think.

What the bloody hell do these schools think they are doing? Talk about divisive.

Plus, the dinners that the majority of the school canteens provide (even the 'healthy' ones are no up to much, so how on earth can they talk? Think it's a bit rich that kids are being effectively penalised for having some cakes or whatever in thier packed lunch, when the dinner ladies are still doling out treacle sponge and custard/cheap reformed meat etc.

OOh was it in food? I shall have a look...

I can't remember...have had a look but PCs on a go slow!

Don't worry it will soon get phased out if it doesn't reform the targetted parents - i.e. the lunchables brigade

How ridiculous. If the school dinners are like most then they absolutely have no right to judge the kids lunches.

And how on earth would they set a criteria? Calories? Fat? Fruit and veg? Because even though my kids eat at least 2-3 portions at school, the kids who don't may well be at home. They have no idea what is being eaten at home.

Just another thoughtless idea to try and control the pupils and their parents.

I am so sending peanut butter cookies in tomorrow...
