The idea that it's "bratty" to not eat something that you find repulsive is so outdated I don't even know where to start.
Like I said... If the kid seems unwell or under-nourished then it's time to call in parents and figure out what's going on, take it further if needs be. If she's NOT under-nourished then frankly it's no one else's ****ing business what she does or doesn't eat, just as with every other human being on the planet. I'd also add here that even if she does have a problem (which from this story doesn't sound like the case at all) - the absolute worst thing you can do when someone has an eating disorder is FORCE them to eat. Actually no there is something worse. Forcing them to eat food that's been in a bin. How it's not obvious that this risks making an eating disorder 10x worse is beyond me. Engage your higher brain functions folks, step away from that indoctrinated "clear your plate!!" authoritarianism. |

Basically a non story.
Child doesn't like Cheese sarnie. I can't blame her, I wouldn't eat a sandwich without butter or margerine. I'd call the dinner lady over and tell her to either get it buttered or bring me a plate of chips instead. |

I'm sure they can afford a tub of "I can't believe it's not butter" just take some money out of the critical race theory funds.

Money is spent on teachers, maintenance, resources, other food….. in an era where school budgets are smaller than ever as prices rise. One tub of quality butter is going for £5 at the moment. It has nothing to do with ‘critical race theory funds’…. |

In the not so distant past, kids were sent to the head to have their hands painfully caned for sucking a sweetie in class. They managed not to be 'traumatised'. I shudder to think how today’s kids are going to manage as adults if they are taught that they should be protected from every negative thing that happens to them and a drama made out of it.

Dinner lady needs sacked asap. This is completely unacceptable behaviour from a grown adult towards someone elses kid. What if the kid hadnt picked it out the bin...what was her next step?

And whether or not someone has an ‘eating disorder’, throwing food, wasting it, in the bin, and being rude about it, is not ‘bratty’ to you then? |

Boomers quick to call the kid a brat. Shocking.
If she didn’t like the sandwich she didn’t like the sandwich. |

If you don't want to eat something you should throw it in the bin, not force it into your face. It isn't bratty in the slightest. If they insisted they wanted to be given something else - sure. Simply choosing not to eat something - no. The idea that it's "rude" not to eat food you don't want to eat is bizarre.

Let's not pander to picky eaters. Eight years old, you eat what you're given, within reason.
