It's supposed to be enough for 5 lunches, to replace the meal they would've received at school. There are at least 6 adequate meals there, although it's not what you'd feed your kids if you had any choice.

yes we’d noticed. Oh it’s woeful! Also we’ve had our first ‘sling’ them in something. Urgh I hate it.
Gah - posted this before I saw the front of the dress!!!
Currently GL’ing my way through this thread. If somebody could drop me a quick DM explaining what the heck went on at the end of the last thread I’d be very grateful. I can’t work it out as posts have been deleted.
I expect it’s probably against the rules to ask this and I might get told off for derailing this thread. However, I’ve been on these threads since DKL and now I feel like there’s one or more bad apples in the barrel. I’d just like to know how the land lies. Thanks.
Sorry admins and sorry if the answers lie ahead of me in this thread - although I suspect it won’t be allowed to be discussed again.

Is she under the influence?
Yeah, it’s much better than nothing and it’s clear that some thought has gone into it - the foods are simple, and quick and easy to prepare. Personally I don’t think the quantity is enough for a child that age. The biggest issue I have with it is the lack of nutrition - looks like there’s about 1 portion of fruit/veg per day which isn’t a lot for one meal. Bear in mind these children may come from families who are poor / time poor / poorly educated about food so they might otherwise not be getting much fruit/veg at home. The food is carb heavy and there’s a lack of protein. Cheap biscuits will give a sugar rush and not fill a kid up for long whilst from a nutritional point of view providing nothing of real value. The inclusion of condiments was thoughtful but they bulk out the pack, making it look like there’s more food than there actually is
I am pleased that children are getting fed of course and it’s not a huge duck up like #ThanksMichelleObama but I do think it could be better executed... in a way which doesn’t involve Jack!
I mean, honestly, it’s not just me that finds all this ridiculous?! EAT THEM.
My son always used to want to make a strawberry pizza and I thought he was talking tit. I guess he wasnt... 
This genuinely makes me feel a bit sick. Blending lentils and beets with cheese?
You should put a copyright on that excellent post as Jack will nick it.
So it's met with JM's approval?! I actually did not expect this. Also, peach and banana pizza sounds quite nice (I assume the pizza is sweet, not savoury) but it is NOT the same thing as this anchovy-and-banana abomination.
What's wrong with these people.
Credit where it’s due, she’s being very pleasant to people and while I an childishly amused I can’t scramble an egg and this will probably make their day. Good job, Jack. 
Every other day when she’s “taking a break” (GROAN) from Twitter it reminds of this character from Warner Bros - Sniffles, and his little red bindle:
Then I read the wiki page and they’re so alike
In Naughty but Mice, Sniffles has a cold and is searching for a remedy. He eventually stumbles upon an alcoholic cold medicine, drinks it, and becomes intoxicated. He then pals around with an electric shaver, which eventually saves him from a hungry cat.
In Sniffles Takes a Trip (1940), a simple drive into the country turns into a nightmare as Sniffles is constantly frightened and awed by his surroundings.
By the end of the series, Jones transformed Sniffles into an incessant chatterbox who serves more as a nuisance than a cute protagonist.

How does she come up with this tit. Also, I really dislike that flowery nipple revealing dress
HOw do they not know that you must put them in a curry with peaches? Or dip them in mayo? I mean, it's basic stuff, isn't it?
