Appropriate snacks for soccer 6 year olds?

The kids all accepted the potato chips and lemonade but hardly anyone accepted the grapes. Then I put those grapes out for dinner, and hardly anyone ate them. So even when you try to provide healthy alternatives, they aren't always appreciated or eaten. Just like at school, with the increase in fruits and veggies, our garbage cans are getting very healthy.

My kid would have eaten the grapes, not the potato chips or lemonade.

Your kid must not have been at our game because not a single kid just wanted the grapes. Oh well, more for me.

Its unreasonable to expect parents bring reasonable snacks of fruits, veggies, crackers, and more healthy options.

Yeah, because what is on your list of "ok" foods will be on someone else's list of "not ok" foods. Your black bean chips and hummus sound delicious to me but that will not be a popular snack among 6 year old kids.

Just bring something that most of them will eat and that cleans up easily.

Clearly there is not one food that meets everyone's approval...bring what seems appropriate when it is your turn. When it is not your turn, decide if the available choice is appropriate for your child.

No one is talking that. Grapes, strawberries, carrots, oranges, celery are all basic.
