Summer is officially over and all the good little children headed off to school this morning, anxious to begin a new year of stuffing their brains full of knowledge. Not to mention filling their tummies full of that 'wonderfully nutritious' school food at lunch.
Hubby and I have always been very fortunate as parents; The Boy has never been terribly picky about what he eats. Today, however, was a bit different.
At lunch, my charming son, was faced with the following choices: Basco sticks, cheeseburger and fries, chicken nuggets, pizza, or a buffalo chicken panini. What wonderfully nutritious options!
The Boy had a dilemma. None of it looked anywhere near edible to him. We won't even mention the fact that the only vegetable option for the regular hot lunch was the french fries that were served with the cheeseburger!
I do believe it was the first time in his life the my darling son did not know what to eat. He has become so accustomed to eating healthy that the very thought of eating the crappy food that was being offered turned his stomach.
He settled for the the Buffalo Chicken Panini, but was sorely disappointed when it tasted nothing like what he expected it to. He reported that it tasted sort of rotten to him. Actually the word he used was crap!
The school does offer a sandwich and salad bar, which is considerably more expensive than the regular hot lunch offering. So, I guess that we will be paying more money for The Boy's lunches from now on!
Am I the only one that thinks this is seriously wrong?
