Apologies
I wish to apologize in advance for this post. It's terrifying and gross. It's the horror that gave its name to horror.
I present to you the lunch menu at my kids' school:
October 16
Cheesy bread sticks or chicken nuggets
Marinara sauce
Cinnamon belly bear cookie
October 17
Beef soft taco or chicken nuggets
Fruit snacks (these are candies not fresh fruits)
October 18
Hot dog w/bun or chicken nuggets
Vegetarian baked beans
Wiggly red pear jello
October 19
Pepperoni pizza or chicken nuggets
Chocolate chip elf graham
October 20
Penne pasta w/ meat sauce or chicken nuggets
Animal crackers
Now honesty moves me to mention that there is a salad bar ( only since end of last year ) but the stuff in there is so unappetizing that the only kids that I've seen using it are vegetarians (obviously they don't have a choice!).
Thankfully we make our kids lunches and one good thing is that we are welcome any day to share lunch with the kids.
You know what's ironic too? On the paper that has the menu on it, they insist heavily on haow important it is to get you 5 fruits and vegetables a day. Ha!
Now if you really want to be disgusted with the whole thing go check Candy Froggie's website where she posts her daughter's school lunch menu ;)

hehe, wawwww! that's about all the yummmy stuff I'd order when watching a movie, you know?!!!
You made me laugh with your "terrifying", "horror"!
Ok from my point of view, t'is really fine (pizza, nuggets, nuggets, pizza), but as a mom I can understand why you find it terrifying!
I've an American friend here that tells me lunch boxes are much used there (not at all here), is it really an alternative to such kind of menu?
Oh we eat pizza and stuff like that all the time! Yum...the problem is that they have that stuff everyday and go home to eat more of the same for dinner. there are so many obese kids in that school, I'm telling you, you look around and it's terrifying. Yep, lunch boxes are what my kids get. Actually quite a few kids get them. Sometimes what they get is worse than the school food. Last year a little boy in my daughter's class had cakes, candy bars and candies for lunch every day. And he wasn't the only one...
candies and candy bars for lunch!
(faint)
If I made such a lunch box for my kid, I'd really feel like doing something really bad to my kid!
It must have been a shock for you when you saw that!
