From Debbie, child's age 9

You should check what your child's school is serving for lunch. I found out today that my daughters elementary school lunches are anywhere for 1097 calories per lunch, that is Mazzio's pizza, to 1200 calories per lunch everyday. They also have available to purchase smoothie type drinks that are 246 calories per serving, each drink is 2 servings which is an additional 492 calories on top of the high calorie lunch. If my daughter eats lunch at school every day she can easily put on 10 pounds in a month's time. I was floored when her principal gave me those figures this morning when we were talking. I said no wonder we have so many kids with weight issues. The schools are suppose to be providing a healthy lunch, but they are fooling parents with that. My daughter usually takes her lunch, but if they were serving something she loved or I got lazy and didn't fix it she would eat at school, no more. It will be packed lunches from now on.
