I am sure the kids eat quite fast and this isn't a big issue, but it would be unappetizing if the cardboard get soggy because of the syrup and sauce.

And recyclable cardboard is definitely a step forward from styrofoam. Maybe in the long run your school can get real plates, which would be even better. in the meantime I really like the idea of everyone bringing in their own plate - or maybe they could let you have a small recyclable cup for the fruit, to keep the juice away from the main course? Because I still think that looks a bit icky.Crumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14725979957500052450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-79716018803303349652012-11-17T22:24:05.334+00:002012-11-17T22:24:05.334+00:00Hurrah!

Where are the veg anyway?<br /><br />I understand a bit better about the cardboard boat instead of the plastic in relation to pollution and I totally agree on the principle. However, being a French national, to me a meal served in what frankly looks like a trough, is total heresy! The trough should be at least shaped for every course so that the sugary juices of the ever recurring canned fruit do not spoil the savoury main course.<br />Mom, keep fighting!

I am surprised that they are being served as an entree at your school. This is a very skimpy lunch!<br /><br />Thanks for the explanation of the carboard boats. Why not just have paper dinner plates with divided sections? I would find it frustrating and unappetizing to have my foods run together every day. It's good the school got rid of the styrofoam trays though.
