Raises hand: I would because some people aren't as careful about cleanliness and food safety. For example, their house might be clean, kitcehn might be clean but they might not wash their hands before handling food or they will wash their hands and on the way to cutting the fruit have no problem petting their dog or cat etc... I just don't need the headaches of worrying about it.

OMG. You need to get a life. Let me give you a hint. If I am serving cut oranges to my own children, I have absolutely NO interest in getting them sick. Have a little faith in other people...geez...

People asked for reasons why other people would object and I gave reasons. You have children, and yet you still speak like a teenager.

Will my child be "poisoned" no, of course not, she will be fine, but I still think it is nasty. Just like I didn't wipe the shopping card with wipes or put any cover on the shopping cart at the grocery store but I did discourage her from licking the shopping cart handle (which she seemed to enjoy for some reason). She lived but it was still gross.

Why you felt the need to add the word "sarcasm" is beyond me. It was clear that that was your attempt at sarcasm.

You're an elitist.

Because I used reasoning and probably have some "book learnin'" Guilty as charged.

P.S. I grew up dirt poor and worked my tail off to obtain a better life for myself. If that makes me elitist, that is fine with me.

Sorry I was super busy--my son brought gatorade, bananas and pretzels for his team, so relatively healthy picks for a junior in high school. The parents were surprised that he was able to remember to buy and bring the snacks himself.

+1 Snack, snack, snack = fat, fat, fat. Too many snacks, too much of the time! Thank goodness some are limiting it. When you would prefer your kids don't eat sugar every day, you are the mean mommy. But when you DC gets obese from it ... another chance to be the bad mom.

Really? Yeah, I'd be on the bandwagon for that ban. I wonder just how fat and lazy we can make our kids today? Love these parents that would defend their kids' rights to get as fat and stupid as they want. Kudos to the mom who figures out a way to have less work in her day by having to actually think about what their child learns/eats at school functions. More time for bon bons for you.
