[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just homeschool your kid if you are that much of a control freak.[/quote]

calling someone a control freak for caring about what their kid eats is… a take...[/quote]

A handful of goldfish crackers or pretzels at snack time is not going to matter.

Add up everything the kid eats during the day and think hard about if these goldfish crackers are making a difference.  Or is it the other 95% of food that is consumed at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Focusing on this 5% shows how truly far gone your mind has become.[/quote]

I believe OP has stated multiple times it is more than 1 small serving, it IS the overall nutrition throughout the day that is the problem.  95% of the day is school for a kid, so you are expecting that last 5% to compensate and it just doesn't work.[/quote]

Where does your kid go to school that it's 95% of their day?

The GDS kindergarten day is 7 hours.  For that to be 95% of your kid's day they'd need to awake 22 minutes outside of school.  So, up at 7:49 and back to sleep at 3:11?   If that's your kid, then you probablly need to take them to the doctor, because they have bigger issues than goldfish.

My kids didn't go to a Big 3 in elementary (one does now), but at that age they ate 16/21 meals and the majority of their snacks outside of school.  [/quote]

Reducing it to “16/21 meals” skips over the part where kids are eating multiple snacks at school AND assumes the child never goes to a birthday party or enjoys a treat at home, which is exactly what people are raising concerns about.[/quote]

You forgot to mention that now the school has set a precedent for the meals you served at home and your kid is more likely to hunger strike until they get back to school...[/quote]
