In QLD its pretty much seen as law, even though I don't think they can actually ambush a school and host a seige of offending food LOL. It's just HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as far as I know. Most schools will take it in because its just good policy really (except some bits which I'll leave out of this post... ok no I won't... skim milk? For Kids? Is OTT to me... I think thats where it goes too far IMO... anyway LOL).

Good on you for standing up to those *****es. P&C meetings can get so catty, my mum was part of one and she'd always come home with tales to tell, sounded like a bloody high school drama group to me!
