Especially when the school isn't even following its own rules when it comes to health.

The finger-pointing by no-nothing EOTP parents looks very similar to non-studying kids making fun of smart kids for being smart. Maybe the non-studying kids also view the smart kids as being "entitled," when in reality what the the smart kids are doing is being successful.

On behalf of gentrifier parents who let their kids eat icecream and watch tv from time to time: please stop. Devote your concern to figuring out what the teachers lack and need. If you really believe the administrators are such idiots then you should probably not be in that school at all.

This. My higher SES daughter who participates in multiple sports and is developing bilingualism in a desirable language is concerned about body fat. She's below the 10th percentile for her age and height. Nonetheless, the fat freakouts at her school just can't stop themselves from wanting to see Anorexia in err kementary.

Were you ugly in HS? Why else try to promote Anorexia Nervosa?

Or, should we be banning Stonyfield too?

Yeah, if it has jelly at the bottom Stonyfield should go, too. If you can't bear to eat yogurt without sugary jelly, or your cereal without sugar, then you my friend are an addict. Parents have the right to create little sugar addicts at home, but the school should have no role in it.

Right. Just like cyanide. And agent orange.

So why is it just one and not the majority of scientists in the field?

If you're Lustig's PR agent then you should fire yourself.

If you think the Trix yogurt is freakout worthy, consider this: some of the children in your school won't get any dinner tonight. They won't get any breakfast tomorrow either, either. They may not have clean clothes, a warm bed of their own, or any books for anyone to read to them at night. They may not have a winter coat. They may have a parent (or two) who is missing from the home. They may be living with someone who suffers from addiction. They may be abused.

You need to step back and realize that if you are in a Title 1 school, you are in that school with families who are dealing with big life issues. The teachers know it. The principal knows it. And here you come, complaining about the goddamn yogurt. Pack your kid's lunch. And, since you clearly have time on your hands, find a way to make a real, meaningful difference in these kids' lives. Because getting them some Stoneyfield isn't going to change the trajectory of anyone's life.

People would rather feel outraged and superior over clean eating than uncomfortable and guilty in the face of entrenched poverty and overwhelming social and economic challenges.

This must be the same person who responded to McDonald's worthlessness as food with and example of McDonald's charitable work, as if the two are remotely related. Her ability to understand and respond to improving public health at schools seems directly related to how poor are sick some people are, as if there's a connection. There's not. There's some kind of weird psychological dis-function going on here. Does anyone else think like her, or is this an anomaly?

I agree with the PP that you're responding to. And I think you're kind of batty.

This thread is proof positive that if you don't get some sugar in your life, you become a witch-hunting bitch.

Happy Valentine's Day, from a woman in good shape by choice. (It won't work by edict.)

Is everyone EOTP outright crazy? I am not sure I appreciate the difference between old glories and gentrifiers.

Just saying...

Obviously, you're the PP with so much sand in your vagina, that you haven't laughed since at least 2011.

NP here... seems just about everyone in this thread is freaking out. 11 pages over this? Take a glance in the mirror at your own freak out over someone else's freakout....

Is there some kind of connection between eating sugary or unhealthy snacks and sex? Do I have to eat that stuff in order to have a functioning sex organ? What am I missing?
