Fewer children are choosing school dinners according to an Ofsted report on food in schools. The number of pupils eating school lunches has fallen in 19 of the 27 schools visited for the survey. The reasons include cost, a lack of choice, a lack of consultation with pupils over the content of menus and pupils' unfamiliarity with some of the food. Most of the pupils in the survey had a good understanding of healthy eating but this seemed to have little bearing on the food they chose to eat at lunch-times.
Why do you think there has been a drop in the number of pupils choosing school dinners? Do your children take a packed lunch or do they enjoy food provided at school?

I doubt that school dinners are healthier than packed lunches. But they are certainly healthier than what children love to snack. The reason why children don’t eat school dinners is that they are sick and tired of seeing that certain meal on that particular day over and over again. Maybe if schools innovate their menus, the interest for school dinners can increase.
