Spaghetti with meat sauce, garlic cheese toast, and a veggie mix (broccoli, cauliflower and carrots), and then anything on the salad and fruit bar. Maxine opted for cold peas from the salad bar and Jack and Juliet wanted bananas. But this isn't about whether lunch was good or not. It was about how much food gets thrown away!! There were kids who only wanted noodles, no sauce, chocolate milk, no veggies and maybe some applesauce. Then they ate 2 bites and threw the rest away. Frustrating. It made me thankful that my kids eat pretty well. Jack is my fussiest about vegetables. (He has issues with green peppers, mushrooms, and celery but will eat most everything else.) I wish there was a way to say to the lunchroom kids, "Okay, get a little of everything, try a bite or two, and if you still don't like it, don't eat it." But that's not the lunchroom workers's job. Oh well, I've still got a little while before Jack is eating at the school. He might need me to make him peanut butter and jelly everyday. :)

Welcome to my life. Peanut butter and jelly everyday. It's not so bad. Frank's just too darn picky.
I've gone to eat lunch with Frank a few times this year, and I was shocked to see how many kids ate the dessert and threw the rest in the garbage.
