The data here is a little confusing based on the facty that parent put multiple items in their kid’s lunch.
It is important to maintain that parental choice is essential. Parental education on healthy choices for lunch needs to be emphasised. But teachers sliding this through the ‘back door’ by growling kids about what is in the lunchbox is counterproductive. The reality is that they have little if any say in the contents of their lunchbox.
This method undermines parental authority and has potential for discent in the home. Teachers expect our support with reinforcing school messages around socialisation and school structure, we should expect positive support with lunchbox choices. Besides the most encouraging research finding is that 88 per cent of Kiwi kids' lunchboxes contain a piece of fruit. So what’s the big deal?
Noone is asking the right question...

So what do we do when a child comes with a bottle of E2 energy drink, 2x Big Ben pies, a cream donut and a family pack of twisties?
Its all about talking to parents. I think its very sad when some teachers choose to talk to kids with "Tell you mum you need...." rather than talking directly to parents. I'm going to go out on a limb here and saay that primary school kids don't get muvh say in the weekly shopping trip.
Some schools have charity funding lunch for the kids but I think this is wrong - It just gives parents another reason not to spend money on their kids welfare.
Having kids is an awesome responsiblity.
