Realistically speaking I know what even the best raised kids are opting for 90% of the time.
Sorry, I'm not familiar with the whole school lunches being provided thing. Do they get a choice?
We have never had school lunches in Australia for as long as I can remember. You ate your breakfast at home and your mum or dad packed your lunch for you. On the odd occasion, for a treat, I was sent to school with a few dollars and I bought my lunch from the school canteen.
I see what you're saying, MS, given a choice and no parental intervention (along with a bit of peer pressure) the kid is going to take the fries and the chicken strips 99 times out of a hundred.
