[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]where do all of you crazy food-issue type parents lives?

I have 3 kids in upper NW DC and have attended approx 500 rec and now travel soccer games.  My kids each have about 50 play dates per year and attend maybe 25 birthday parties per year each.  That is a WHOLE LOT of snacks provided by me and others. 
In all that time I've encountered about 2 families that have their kids on some sort of strict "no sugar, no preservatives, we only snack on organic celery from Whole Foods" diet.

The rest of us have long ago embraced the fact that our kids will have occasional Oreos, Cheetos and Pringles and have no issue with any of it. [/quote]

If it were really occasional, I wouldn't care.  Honestly.  But it feels like there is junk food at every kid event--as you say, there are a WHOLE LOT of snacks.  My kids can go an hour or two without eating, and fruit is a totally acceptable snack choice.  At a birthday party, I don't care--it's a party!  But the rest of the time, it would be nice if the snacks were a little healthier.  [/quote]
