[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree. I hate what they serve for snacks/lunch at my child's (private) daycare, but it's not worth rocking the boat. I know that when other parents have brought this up, they say to bring your own food. However, that makes extra work for the teachers and then they say that the child just wants to eat what their friends are eating.

The USDA's standards are crap and schools wants to spend as little per child on food as possible. Hence canned, heavily processed everything. But hey, why not relax those standards even more, Republicans?

We focus on eating as well as we can at home with a varied diet heavy on fruits and veggies. Luckily my son is not picky...

They don't have lunch catered?  Most downtown daycares use Good Food Company, which includes a fresh fruit and a veg with every lunch.  They also bake their own bread.  The food isn't fabulous, because large-scale catering rarely is, but it's definitely balanced and does not rely on canned/highly processed foods.  I've been pretty pleased with the variety of entrees.  [/quote]

I agree about Good Food's lunches, but their snacks are terrible! Sugary yogurt, sweetened applesauce, muffins, etc.[/quote]
