(Another great change this year seems to be that they're offering to meet with parents to arrange good substitutions to accommodate food-allergic kids, which is awesome!). She told me that they have switched to Stonyfield Farms yogurt, and schools should all be receiving it. <br /><br />I agree with the previous commenter that despite the mix-up with the yogurt, this meal looks soooo much better than what kids were served for breakfast last year.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804454354952961393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041351940135831902.post-65274227094188423142010-09-01T17:31:02.559-04:002010-09-01T17:31:02.559-04:00Looks like a fairly healthy meal.

Many times the menu seems to offer things on the side but actually comes fully dressed as you show above. I have a very picky eater. A good eater, just picky, and not very fond of dips and sauces. (He is not one to eat ranch dressing with his veggies.) It would help if these items were truely on the side. I see two other spaces where a sauce could be put on that tray. Or even better a caring person could ask a litle one "would you like the sauce today?"<br /><br />We also talked about the lack of a water option in elementary school lunches. Jeff says he is "on it".Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17241152103291421372noreply@blogger.com
