Do they serve "family style" at your preschool? I know they did that with my son and it would have been hard to get the kids to eat if you aren't willing to eat it too. I feel for ya! All I can say, is you could make the kids feel better by eating "icky" things while they eat lunch. Make a point of eating salads/cut veggies with them and your proteins when you can break away for your few minutes. It's too bad you don't get a real lunch break. I have to wonder if what they are doing to you is legal. Do you work full time? If so they can't take your lunch break away!!!!!
