Yes, they are crap at the moment Flashy, because we all pander to them by letting them take packed lunches, therefore reducing the opportunity for schools for the expenditure of the decent catering. You are not in the category as the point put forward .. nutritional, yes, but Hedman was talking about a substantial hot meal at least once a day. You probably cook him a lovely meal in the evening, but some parents don't.
I used to have to pack up a lunch for my grandaughter (against my wishes) .. was difficult trying to find interesting sandwiches everyday, and a pain in the butt. She more or less, brought half of it back with her.
Again, probably getting boring with this point, but at the school my son went to (and still does) .. they have no choice but to stay for school meals and the menu was absolutely brilliant with loads of choices of starters, main courses and suites. The cost of this meant it over-rode the cost of a heavy meal in the evening .. and saved me lots of hassle too ...
