[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get back to me when you can fix the following:

- Nut bans in schools
- Inability to refrigerate snacks (we aren't even allows to send snacks in an insulated bag -- lunch, yes, but snacks have to be separate and in a disposable container or a clear plastic reusable bag)
- What to do when I send a healthy snack in and my kid won't eat it because all the other kids have crackers or chips and so that's all she wants

I tried healthy snacks for a long time but they just came home uneaten and my kid complained. I gave up, now I send in bags of teddy grahams or animal crackers. It's not what I want but she actually eats them and it takes the edge off until lunch.

I don't control the school environment and have to work within what it offers. The environment isn't conducive to healthy snacks.[/quote]

I have never more wholeheartedly agreed with a post before!

Yeah, the food allergy kids are the reason your kids eat cr*p!!!

Grow up.  Tell your kid they can eat what you send or wait until lunch.[/quote]

Nut bans don’t actually keep kids with nut allergies safer.[/quote]

Which what this thread is about.  People are just making excuses.  Start your own thread if you want to discuss food allergy safety and school policies.[/quote]

Making excuses for what? I’ll feed my kids whatever I damn well please, and the opinions of their functionally illiterate kindergarten teachers don’t matter.[/quote]

Read the thread before calling your kids' kindergarten teachers functionally illiterate.  Some parent said bc of nut bans, peer pressure, and lack of refrigeration they can't send healthy snacks.   Those sound like lame excuses to me.  [/quote]

And who exactly are you?[/quote]

Someone who is adult enough to tell my kids that just because someone at their table brings cupcakes and chocolate milk every day doesn't mean that I'm sending it too.[/quote]

But not adult enough to decide what to send your kids without input and peer pressure from randos on the interwebs? I’d offer you a cookie, but I’m sure you’d (pretend) to prefer a celery stalk.[/quote]

Nobody wants your nasty cookies.  You're probably the person who would say to your teenager "I would really you rather just drink at home."[/quote]
