There are now few schools where whole milk is on menu after parents made issue out of it, same with real butter. When i was at school in finland, there where choices, butter or margarine and milk, fat free or less than 2% of fat and buttermilk, water. But i have to say aside of bad potatoes, i have very nice memories out of school lunches.Chistrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949953460436763419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-75380651400888472462012-08-31T18:25:48.864+01:002012-08-31T18:25:48.864+01:00I am surprised that with the recognition of the va...I am surprised that with the recognition of the value of unprocessed, local, traditional foods, that fat-free milk would be on the menu. Whole fresh milk is nutrient dense, with natural enzymes that help with digestion and nutrient assimilation. The fats contained in fresh unprocessed milk are very beneficial, especially to growing children. What led to the decision to go with the fad of fat-free?

If a child is made to sit at the table until he (or she) "cleans his plate", that may take up an hour's worth (or more) of what should have been lessons. <br /><br />I'm impressed with the schools "taste everything" rule as well as the fact that they insist on proper table manners.<br /><br />Parents have some responsibility here too, as well.

My family does every night still, but very few of my friends' families do the same. I know that for some families, even if the food is home-cooked, they get the food from the stove and the go eat in their own rooms or in front of the TV! I do think that eating together is an important part of family bonding. I hope that it starts making a come-back around the world!jessicaschmoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191081149744430080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-44872772283793021882012-08-24T16:17:33.153+01:002012-08-24T16:17:33.153+01:00Thank you.

I think the welsh school who already were part of this blog did something like that.<br />If You prepare a meal yourself, you're much more likely to eat it without predjudice..

Although chopped liver casserole was even worse- if possible. <br /><br />Still, I have to agee with the Hungry Birds' teacher- our children don't always appreciate the nutricious meals they are served daily. Sometimes I wonder if they would like school lunches more if they were actually charged for them. This blog certainly highlights how fortunate they are to receive wholesome meals, in stead of PB&J sandwiches, chips or hamburgers. What is really sad, though, is how little time Finnish families do spend "breaking bread" together. I think this is something we could learn from the North Americans writing on this blog earlier?
