[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We, as moms and dads, need to start demanding more from our preschools!! They are caring for our children - including their physical health, which should mean what they are feeding our kids too. We should push them to do more. And, as someone mentioned, it's not just what they serve, it's how they use food - as a reward, as punishment. What are they teaching our kids?!?! Unacceptable.  Do parents care though? I'm surprised so few people have commented on this post....Would love to start a petition as one way of encouraging change...think it'd get momentum?[/quote]

Not all preschools serve unhealthy foods; maybe that's why there haven't been more responses.  My DC's school serves organic, whole foods and they are pretty insistent that any snacks or lunches sent to school be the same.[b]  If a kid brings in an "unhealthy" snack from home they substitute something that fits the guidelines[/b].  They make their own whole grain bread and hummus every week, along with a variety of other healthy offerings that the kids can help make.

If you want to have the same at your school you will need to approach the director and other parents.  Is that what you mean by starting a petition?  Unless you are in a public school I don't think trying to petition on a larger scale would go anywhere.  [/quote]
