Oh you break an open door here, I couldn't agree more with you
When I went to school there was no bad at all, for half day meal you would bring bread, or crackers and such... The lunch at school was almost never done, school time was 8-13 then back home, one year I had to lunch there, you couldn't bring food from home, there was a canteen inside with predetermined healthy food (quality sucked)
Nowadays for now I don't know how it works, I haven't heard of any bans tough
I agree, bans are stupid, as soon as the kid goes out of the school he will go and grab what he can't at school, actually they tempt even more as it's the pleasure of the forbidden
The problems are parents, i mean I have seen parents giving a pack of candies for meal to their kid, are you fucking kidding me? With the kindergarten trip everyone giving chips and tea or coke, I was the only one giving water and crackers made with whole flour
Parents are lazy, people are lazy, it's easier to take some shit processed out in the oven and call it a day, open a pack of chips and give that, quicker and no complain from the kid... I'm doing the opposite, fruit, pasta, meat, nothing processed, chips or cake once in a while, I hope it will serve something
