Her lunches always look so pitiful. The food is just thrown on the plate and it's very little. I think the little girl's blog is showing the truth and the school doesn't like that.</p> <p>Anyway, good for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunches#post-191613 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 13:44:36 +0000 emcoco 191613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweet t - after a lot of backlash on twitter, etc., the school board reversed their decision, so she'll be allowed to keep up her blog after all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunches#post-191559 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 12:56:02 +0000 Sweet T 191559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been following this little girl's blog for a while now. I can't believe she's not allowed to take pictures anymore. She's raised $2000 for her charity already.</p> <p>When I was in elementary school and my mom was a SAHM, she usually packed our lunches. Once she went back to work, we bought them more often then not. For middle &amp; high school, I would make my own lunch sometimes and other times I would buy lunch. We weren't allowed to leave campus in high school. So annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunches#post-191506 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 12:28:05 +0000 heffalump 191506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad packed my lunch, until high school. First I packed my own, and my senior year I bought. It was so unhealthy when I bought the ofod though. We'll pack lunch for LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunches#post-191333 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 10:44:02 +0000 chopsuey 191333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost always packed lunch. I plan on packing lunches for my kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunches#post-191235 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 10:00:04 +0000 DillonLion 191235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost always bought lunch at school growing up and it was total garbage: chicken nuggets, mashed potatoes, pizza, etc.</p> <p>In high school we had off campus lunch so we could drive to wherever we wanted. It was always fast food since there wasn't enough time for anything else because our school was out in the middle of nowhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunches#post-191232 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 09:58:36 +0000 Alivoo01 191232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents only packed my lunch (in elementary school) when I didn't like what was for lunch that day. In middle school, we had the hot food line and salad bar so I always had options. In HS, we had all sorts of food variety, fast food included on campus so I never brought my lunch.</p> <p>Hubby and I reminisce about some of the "delicious" school lunches even though we know they're 100% terrible for you. We'll probably do the same for our kids, let them enjoy buying lunch with their friends, but if they want us to pack them a lunch, we will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunches#post-191011 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 07:46:30 +0000 Andrea 191011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom never packed my lunch and I did pick up some bad habits from school so I'll definitely be more diligent once DD is school-aged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-lunches#post-191006 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 07:43:31 +0000 emcoco 191006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not a parent yet, but my sister posted about this (she lives in Scotland) and I thought it was interesting and wanted to share! I am really grateful my mom always packed our (healthy) school lunches, and I never had to rely on school food.</p> <p>A 9 year old girl in Scotland started a blog to document her school lunches and rate them on taste and healthiness. Her school board is not allowing her to keep the blog (saying she can't bring her camera in to school) - such a shame! </p> <p>Her blog is very sweet, I think. <a href="http://neverseconds.blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">http://neverseconds.blogspot.co.uk</a></p> <p>Do you have school-age kids? Do you pack their lunch or are they fed by the school? If your kids aren't in school yet, what do you think you'll do when they are? I love seeing the bento box posts on the HB blog, and hope I'll have the time/creativity to do that when I do have little ones :) </p>
