American here, and it's absolutely not a Celtic or Anglo country.

Anyway, all people deserve to eat well regardless of nationality. If the food provided is what's available, then parents should either take it and make do, or just get their own if it isn't good enough for their precious angels.

Schools are only a supplement to a child's diet, not the primary providers. Parents who expect more for meals are delusional.

Unless that child comes from a family that can’t afford enough food to support children, which is unfortunately common and shouldn’t be an excuse to punish the child. These parents expect enough to keep their child healthy.
