The community supports a greener lifestyle so they don't have to threaten people. I don't even buy baggies. |
Agree with you pp. Is this a private school? |
If the COMMUNITY really supported a "greener lifestyle" and they didn't need to be threatened into it, they school wouldn't NEED to have a RULE prohibiting plastic baggies, right? |
| If deli meats are bad for you, is it unhealthy to eat at sandwich places like Subway? |
I wouldn't do it every day. The best way to eat healthy and minimize exposure to toxins is to eat a wide variety of foods. Tuna daily, for example, increases odds of mercury ingestion. Spread it out over a month or two instead. |
The plastic encasing the yogurt will disrupt your child's endocrine system and make them fat, eventually give them man boobs if they are a boy. I don't wish this for your child BTW. |
| I would never buy baggies. They are choking this earth. |
Yes, it is a preschool/k. It's in the handbook as a guideline. People follow it because they do things that way anyway. I've never heard of it being an issue. I'm not sure why anyone would think lunchables and disposable plastic containers were preferable to healthier foods and reusable containers. I just don't see how the convenience outweighs the nastiness of the food or the wastefulness of either a lunchable or a Baggie. I don't want my kids thinking it's good/normal to generate that much trash. When they go to public school, they will continue to take their lunch in little tupperwares and with a cloth napkin. I also send silverware!! |
Also, cookies and kids' yogurt is about three times the sugar your child needs for a day. |

Do not buy them; never have, never will. I can make my own lunchables if my kids want them. But they don't, they prefer healthy things like homemade chicken nuggets, or Applegate turkey on multi grain bread or organic crackers fresh fruits and veggies. But that's they way I'm raising my kids. If people want to feed their kids lunchables, I'm not going to frown on them. We all have choices it's up to us to make the choices that are best or easiest for our family.

| Not only do I not buy them, but my child's school has a no junk-food policy and these are included in the list of forbidden items. |
| So Applegate turkey is healthy? Isn't all packaged meat the same? |
No, all packaged meat is not the same. Nitrate-free organic meat is better than lunchables balogna. Definitely do some research on this stuff. |
Awesome. But your post sounds a bit snotty.
|
| No on Lunchables - too high in sodium. |
