In Australia we have canteens or tuck shops, a window in the side of a building where kids line up and pay too much for basically convenience store food. <br /><br />There are no cafeterias: indoor, seated, civilized areas for kids to eat. No, in Australia children are expected to eat their own lunch, or a pie and coca-cola from the cafeteria, not sitting like human beings, but running wild around the playground like animals, rain or shine. <br /><br />Australian schools suck. There are parents who care about their kids and make them healthy lunches from home, or there are parents who don't care about their kids and send them with 2 Quid to eat the fake plastic food the school provides. <br /><br />I say forget about critiquing food and BRING YOUR OWN! What's so hard about that? Aussies have to do it all the time (unless the parents are chavs/bogans who don't care about their children's health).Glenn Daveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18315094580927509649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-33835467869813438672012-06-02T10:30:12.809+01:002012-06-02T10:30:12.809+01:00Hai Martha!

I am 29, so its a fair while since I was at school, but I do remember back in the 80's that we had good meals - the school cooks were also the Home Economics teachers and all members of the WRVS(I think thats the name). The only dubious thing we had was some BBQ rib thing.........It tasted nice, however, it also tasted how burning pigs dung smelt, so that put us off! <br /><br />My wee girl goes to school in 2 years, and I hope by then the meals are better! <br />I see comments about the cost and what they can and cannot provide...........I see that you pay £2 for your meals. I think that IS an awful lot for what you actually recieve. We have a canteen at work. It is a healthy living one, run by an outside firm and our meals are £2.40 for those that have no meat and £2.60 for those that do, and £2.50 for a baked potato. We have about 3 times as much on our plates as they are giving you, and this company still manages to employ staff and make a profit. So I do not understand why your Local Authority does not seem to be putting more thought into your meals. My daughters nursery even has bigger portions - not that all the kids will eat all they are given, but they are given the choice and it is all vetted and cooked to strict government guidelines so it is healthy. <br /><br />Keep up the good work Veg!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687913673045674086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-91524250789173622012-05-25T19:28:03.759+01:002012-05-25T19:28:03.759+01:00Veg, your blog is delightful!

Let me tell you about one of our worst school lunches. It showed up in the rotation about every 4 weeks or so. I don't know if you have seen crispy tacos before. You can see a nice picture at http://www.tacotime.com/menu/tacotime_tacos.html This taco looks very much like the ones my mother used to make at home. The crispy taco plate we were served consisted of one taco shell (normal size), a tiny drizzle of cooked hamburger meat (maybe a teaspoon or a little less) some of which was hard little balls that we weren't sure were meat - maybe bits of cartilage, melted cheddar cheese (enough to kind of glue the "meat" on the shell, a small amount of lettuce and tomato, and milk. We only had white milk. There may have been a small dessert item but I can't remember. This lunch was far from satisfying and even then I found it disgraceful that the school district considered that an acceptable offering. I think due to the efforts of people like you and your dad things have improved quite a bit.<br /><br />Keep up the good work!<br /><br />Caryl in Austin, TexasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-21865860430819589622012-05-25T19:13:50.011+01:002012-05-25T19:13:50.011+01:00I do believe that in Public Schools in Brazil we d...I do believe that in Public Schools in Brazil we do not offer the children a balanced meal, sometimes at school it was hot dog day, or 'sagu' day, or 'polenta' day and just that!!!!!!Tatianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04403362666510450876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-78891129012786137302012-05-25T19:11:48.763+01:002012-05-25T19:11:48.763+01:00Hi, I`ve found your blog through a Brazilian news ...Hi, I`ve found your blog through a Brazilian news website, keep up your good work, I wish that someone in Brazil can send a picture of a lunch at a Brazilian Public School, sometimes I used to enjoy the school food, but I guess everything is kind of different now.<br /><br />xoxo Tati from São Paulo, BrazilTatianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04403362666510450876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-51141126486165190782012-05-25T18:50:15.780+01:002012-05-25T18:50:15.780+01:00Hi Veg,
