Like my other post, there has been a heavy debate about which one (bagged lunch or school lunch) is better involving money and health. Many articles say the combination of the both are the best way to go because it would make variety for the kids and it would be less money on the parents. The school lunch provides children a meal that contains approximately one-third of the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) of nutrients. And when parents try to make a healthy meal for their child, they do not always accomplish what the school lunch can. With a parent’s opinion, Jamie Oliver has a blog for moms to talk about their kids and what they do. In one of the forums, the moms got into a discussion on homemade vs. store bought, even though it does not involve the school, it is the same concept. Many parents agree that homemade are so much better because they know exactly what their child is eating at all times. In all, school vs. homemade lunches has their positives and negatives but the best thing is to eat both in variety, some school lunches and then some bagged lunches. And with store vs. homemade food, the homemade food is the winner for moms.
