September 25 fizz wiz?

Lunch preparations have become futile whereTex is concerned . Leroy isn’t a lot easier. The school cafeteria is an accepted way of keeping your kid fed . Of course this comes at a cost , money and diet control.Im not prepared to surrender $100 a week on letting our kids buy lunch . That’s a good night out for dinner wasted in my view. I previously documented how Leroy was so overcome by the smell of pizza that he opened a lunch account without our consent and without the school even notifying us . We just received a notice to top up his account , he’s 7 years old for christs sake .I don’t know the numbers on who buys and who doesn’t at Leroys school but in middle school Tex assures me that all his friends and fellow year level buy their lunch . Tacos , burritos, pizza , tuna melt and flavoured milk are hard to beat . Kids in middle school will also buy lollies in bulk and then sell them in school black market style for a tidy profit ,ensuring lunch money . Brilliant , the free market is in their DNA , they can spend it and they can find a way to maximise their return (or their parents).Money comes easily for these kids. Tex gets excited at the prospect of receiving any Australian lollies or treats , they have currency and he will exploit it. No matter what I do when it comes to making lunch he will not eat it ,as it is embarrassing . Cold pizza , nup it’s not hot like the kids buy at school . Vegemite on ritz biscuits is horrifying as Vegemite is absolute gruel in the eyes of other kids . Only top quality junk will do . A gift of fizz wiz disappeared into his lunch for school investment . Anything in the house that is junkform will quickly find a way into the school bag . All treats must be carefully hidden . He feels his changing complexion is just bad luck and it’s bullshit , cause lollies and McDonalds has nothing to do with it .I may have forgotten what it was like to be a kid when it comes to food but I will say this kid has one of the poorest diets you’l see , and he’s not on his own . Fruit or vegetables no , healthy  no , fried chicken yes , soft drink yes , sour worms and fizz wiz , hell yeah !
