Hopefully those schools have some good systems in place where they can provide those kids with a healthy meal – and some sort of education for the parents.

This is sad. Some parents could do with some financial support, other need some education about a healthy diet and nutrition.

  I agree – the burger was sent because of not wanting to waste it. Good food hygiene needs to be taught too and the risks associated with food.

This is heartbreaking to read. Kids need better food to fuel their bodies

That’s sad. Those parent may need some help. I hope they get it

If this happens more than once it is obvious there is a problem and the family needs help. I’m sure some parents would be embarrassed but hopefully they would accept help.
Some children may take what may appear to be rubbish to school. Ask the child if he/she is on a special diet / not allowed to eat some foods. I know of a Mum who got a note about the lunch she had sent with her son. She gave him muffins. Gluten Free with grated vegetables in them. Many of those who are on the diet do not like the bread they are allowed to eat.

So sad for these poor kids.

Some parents/caregiver do need to learn what is a good lunch. It does not take much to put something together. Maybe some lunch classes or a chart showing what is needed.

Has anyone considered that these mums and dads might need some help? If you’re sending your kid off with a pack of ginger bickies because you were too tired to shop and thats all thats in the pantry, then thats a cry for help. Get that mum some help!

Cold burger and cold chips – that is quite sad.
