Ummmm........he has parents.That means he does not get to make the choices. His health is so important ( physical, mental and Spiritual ) that I would actually remove him and home school. I wish I had done this but realized too late who rules over us. INGSOC has my sons' hearts and minds. Now I suffer the consequences. I wish the best for you and your family.

I would love to home school him but for many reasons it's not possible. He's in a good charter school and the lunch is the only quibble. We can teach him good nutrition at home.

I respectfully point out that you are also already teaching him that 'free' trumps 'better', that he doesn't have to appreciate lunches his mom makes for him, and that you are okay with him making decisions for himself at 6. You are always home-schooling him.

Home-schooling is best because it eliminates the "education" provided by peer pressure outside the classroom. If you don't home-school, and I do get it, you absolutely must spend time undoing aspects of the education he is receiving.
