There's a lot of talk about healthy eating, school dinners etc. so I thought you might be interested in hearing about French school dinners.

Parents pay a nominal sum and the authorities provide the balance. All meals are prepared locally and not mass produced.

Every Monday a list of the week's menu is taped on the door so that parents can see what their children are having.

This is what my grandchildren were served with yesterday:

Bread

Cucumber and Tomato Salad

Chicken Casserole and Carrots

Cheese

Apple Cake

Water

The only choices they have to make are "take it" or "leave it"! They seem to thrive well enough!

Sisterly Love!
