Wow Bridget, it must take you ages to make lunches - all that measuring and weighing . I agree that it would be much easier to have it provided. Jack's old day care provided healthy meals and it was so much easier. THe day care the boys go to now tried to introduce it, but most of the parents didn't want it - they balked at the extra cost. It's a pity, I thought it was great value, I'm sure it costs about the same for me to send the lunch.
