Our local Schools Authorities are thinking of banning kids from bringing packed lunches to school. They claim to many parents give their kids unhealthy food, ie; cans of pop, chocolate and sweets!!! however ours have always had healthy lunches, fruit and pasta salads, bottles of water and the like.

I think the schools are using it as an excuse to push forward their school dinner programme, which none of my kids have ever liked. Over priced mush!!! I remember school dinners back in my day and it was just mush then as well. Of course lots of families qualify for free school dinners but we don't and I am not paying £8 a day for food my kids don't want!!!

There, got that off my chest
