Do you really feel there is no food safety problem? Is it just that it makes you feel sorry for the animals so you worry about the safety?

If that were not the case, however, I would likely send my own lunches most of the time. Our own diet has so much more fresh food (especially home grown), less sugar and less processed ingredients than the typical American diet, that I prefer my food to the school's. I feel that same way about what they eat at many other people's houses and "kid-focused" restaurants so it's not a school-lunch specific issue.
