Welcome to the "Food Plate"

WHA?!
Children given free fruit and veg is Orwellian?
They do not have to eat it, it's just offered.
I freely admit to them that I hate bananas. I don't tell them that they're the fruit of the devil, but I do make realistic gagging noises.

I just think it's cool that many look forward to playtime because they get fruit and scoff it down as if it was chocolate biscuits.

I was responding to the original post, not your post. It's one thing for the school to offer healthy snacks, I don't have a problem with that ... but the story about the Lunch Commissar going through the kid's lunchbox, banning the contents, serving the kid school lunch AND charging mom for it?

That's Orwellian. Obamanian. Whatever.
