SCHOOL LUNCHES TODAY

When it comes to food, most parents are knowledgeable and concerned that their children should eat healthy meals as often as possible. The sensationalised media view of parents feeding children 'junk food' daily as a consequence of ignorance or laziness is by far a minority of cases.

The majority of parents try to balance a home life that is vastly different to that of just one generation ago. These days it is the norm for both parents to work to balance the family budget. Families are also increasingly busy juggling various other activities such as sports, music swim lessons etc. Together, this has the consequence of not only taking away time for food preparation but also limits the amount of supervision and influence that parents can have on children.
