家长偷懒订快餐当午餐 悉尼小学下禁令


A primary school has been forced to ban fast food to stop parents from delivering McDonald’s and KFC meals to their children at lunchtime. Canley Vale Public School in Sydney’s west recently posted to Facebook asking parents to stop feeding students unhealthy food.
Principal Ben Matthews said parents should provide their kids with a packed lunch or to order from the school canteen. “Lately a significant number of parents have been delivering fast food to the school for their child’s lunch. This includes McDonalds, KFC etc,” Mr Matthews wrote on social media. “Please note that from today on we are no longer accepting these deliveries.”
A parent of a Canley Vale student said the kids love fast food. “McDonald’s is commercial junk and shouldn’t be at school,” the parent told the Daily Telegraph. Parenting expert Dr Justin Coulson said parents had a responsibility to provide their children with a healthy lunch. “This doesn’t seem like it in the interest of the children at all,” he said. Nutritionist Joel Ferren said parents should be providing their children with packed lunches including sandwiches, salads, fruit, vegetables, eggs and yoghurt. And this can make them have a very healthy diet.
A New South Wales Department of Education spokesman said students were advised about making healthy choices at school. The spokesman suggested that schools cook as many kinds of healthy food as they can. This can make the students like eating in the school canteens. “Canley Vale Public School promotes healthy eating and active lifestyles. As such, it has requested that parents not deliver fast food to the school,” the spokesman said.
