Yeah, I would hate that policy too. If you could lock it down at the school so that she could only get, as a PP expressed, a cheese sandwich if she had no money--in other words if she was actually HUNGRY she could get sustenance from school--but no other snacks or food then that's what I'd do. I honestly don't know that I'd want to support a program that offers such crummy snacks. And admittedly, I'm biased against school lunch but only because the only school lunches I've ever seen have been repugnant. If you are ok with school lunch, that's another option, provided she doesn't just use her lunch money to buy snacks because that doesn't really fix the problem! I like what a PP said about possibly trying to enact change at the school level. I'm kind of amazed that a school would offer those choices to kids for purchase.
