I've been following their work for a couple of years now and am constantly amazed by what they've acheived. Is it as good as it seems at a distance?<br /><br />And I hear you on the ostrich routine. I'm also guilty of that. I do let them have school lunches a couple of days a week but I just *know* that they never go near the veggies or the soup. breakfastladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697894378605767602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815496833501076027.post-25889237510802225122013-02-14T20:10:28.051+00:002013-02-14T20:10:28.051+00:00I'm so excited you found the Edible School Yar...I'm so excited you found the Edible School Yard project. I used to live in Oakland (just outside Berkeley) and volunteered at the MLK garden. <br /><br />I completely agree with you about pack lunches. When my little foxes started school they took pack lunches. As we are all prone to eczema both my children have had wheat and dairy introduced into their diets very slowly. As a result their pack lunches were not sandwiches and painfully nutritious. As someone who loves to eat, particularly the twin delights of cheese and chocolate, I did not enjoy being a food nazi.<br /><br />My daughter begged to have school dinners. She wants to be like her friends and she has a good/healthy/diverse appetite so I let her. But, I know that I don't want to know exactly what she is eating. And I know I am sticking my head in the sand saying that. *sigh* Mrs Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964628527899832494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815496833501076027.post-7270236318080225672013-02-13T13:28:25.763+00:002013-02-13T13:28:25.763+00:00Yes, I always suspect that there is some sort of f...Yes, I always suspect that there is some sort of financial reason behind it all, although the idea of encouraging parent pressure hadn't occurred to me - I suppose that wouldn't be a bad thing. We can choose on a day-to-day basis whether to have school lunches or packed lunches, which I like.breakfastladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697894378605767602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815496833501076027.post-63352594348788933362013-02-13T11:09:33.012+00:002013-02-13T11:09:33.012+00:00I have mixed feelings about the recent announcemen...I have mixed feelings about the recent announcements on food in schools too. Our nursery food is pretty good, and my 3yr old eats most things they give her - often things she'll refuse at home probably because everyone else eats it. But at school they don't supervise closely and report back what kids eat everyday!! I'd probably opt for packed lunches. I'm not convinced banning packed lunch thing is a great idea. Or maybe their ulterior motive is to create much greater pressure from parents to improve the school meals - rather than providing that pressure themselves? Who knows quite what they're thinking!Fiona (@BikelightsFiona)http://bikelightsinthefruitbowl.typepad.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
