System lets parents spy on kids' lunches


Recommended Posts

Glad I'm out of that hell hole, lol. This would have sucked a few years ago, lol, don't need my parents knowing all I ate, for lunch, for a year or so was cookies and a drink. lol, that sounds absurly immiture, haha, nuts. no I'm not "obese" lol, this didn't cause me to gain weight of anykind, It's probably way less than I would have eaten normally. When I graduated highschool I was 6'2" and weighed 185lbs lol, yeah my luch habits didn't do ****. Funny thing, I bet them undercooked cookies were way healthier than the crap burgers and fires they were serving anyhow.

this is old, lol

been in my old school in the UK for 2 years now, its a dam good idea if you ask me! As your lunch card could also be used as a photocopy card :)

And at the end of the term you got a kind of bank statment of how much you spent each day and so on, and you could ask for a whole print out of what you got!

Your lunch card also actect as a card to get in comp labs and so on.

But then again my school never really had much crap food in it. They always had fresh pasta and veg, and potatoes, sure there were chips and so on, but 80% of it was not fatty food.

They have the same thing were i work now, but you use it to also get in your office as well (lol) and your stranded if you forget it

Or instead of wasting time and money on this, parents could pack healthy lunches for their children, or the schools could actually remove the junk food from the schools. Neither will ever happen.

If a 150 calorie bottle of juice is an issue I think the kid's got bigger problems.

150 extra calories a day is a big issue.

Increased surveillance isn't needed.  A change in lifestyle is needed. 

And juice is better than Coke.

OH NOES!!!  Don't let your kid near that extra juice!

Certainly juice is healthier than a soda. But it's still extra calories. Drinking a lot of juice can add to your weight just like drinking a lot of soda can. The best thing is to drink mostly water, and drink maybe a cup each of juice and milk daily.

Half the time at my old school, the only way you could be sure of what you were eating was to get outside food instead of what the cafeteria made themselves. Everything comes from a nasty ass company called Sisco or however its spelled. It was always just a bread sack filled with a bunch of fat in either pepperoni or cheese form. You cant figure out what it is until you buy it and break it open. The only safe bet was the pre-packaged stuff, which also happens to be the crap food. Maybe the outside food they should be bringing in is stuff like subs and salads and snapple instead of slim jims doritoes and coke.

I see countless people at my school buy an entire paper plate (the normal dinner plate sized ones) full of fried fries topped with gravy and cheese, and drink it down like theres no tomorrow.  Then they drink a dr.pepper/pepsi, then a marsbar / chips.

Its no wonder children here are obese, dumb and feminine.

When I have kids, im going to make sure that they come home for a good hot lunch rather than buy the crap from the schools.

A lot of schools have closed campus rules, like my old high school. Some doof got killed during lunch by waiting for a red light on some train tracks, so they closed up all the schools during the day. Once you leave you can't come back for the day, even if its a parent taking you out.

I completely agree with that. However, I believe it's completely pointless to include a 4oz juice... IMO what the school is doing is to fufill the drink requirement (or whatever they're trying to do) is like a kid eating a single slice of apple to say they ate their fruit.

edit: I say include an 8oz drink (or a bit more), and provide DECENT water fountains that don't include rust, gum, or orange water (yes, in middle school a drinking fountain gave orange water)
