This conversation has definitely gone a little off topic. I don't understand what is so difficult about serving healthy food. If you feel that food is being wasted because kids aren't eating then SERVE LESS. Then pack up the rest for tomorrow's lunch. Cooking from scratch is easy once you have a few recipes and you cook in BULK so you can freeze some for later. If the kids still won't eat what you serve then tough. Honestly as long as they are growing normally and there is no cause for concern it's on them whether they eat or not that day. I stopped caring about how much the kids eat but I don't think I see myself ever ceasing to care about WHAT they eat. I've had quite a few interviews too where ppl left their previous provider because they found out that she served KD and hot dogs...I cringe at the thought of serving foods like that to kids. And I don't even think that cost is as big of a deal as ppl make it yet it's always the first excuse they throw out there. And I certainly don't claim to be perfect either, I eat out and I love pizza too but that is only a small part of my diet.
