[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This annoys the heck out of me too.  My kids eat healthy sometimes, junky sometimes, and yes, we even do McDonald's happy meals.  But they are not obese, not even close.  Why?  Because they don't sit around inside all day.  They run around outside, ride bikes, climb trees, play soccer.  They are active kids.  So if I as a parent decides to send in a treat with their lunch it is nobody's business.[/quote]

I agree completely.  My kids eat healthy 95% of the time and are as active as they come.  So if I want to give him a treat in his lunch, I better not hear a word about it.  There is nothing wrong with an occasional treat.
And I agree -- jelly sandwich on white bread is probably worse than the lunchable.  At least the lunchable has some protein. [/quote]

But school is not an appropriate place to give treats. Do that at home instead.[/quote]

It is my duty as a parent to decide what is appropriate for my child to eat, not yours and not some school board.  If I choose to purchase the school lunch, then that is different.  If I am sending a lunch from home then that is nobody's business what is inside.  One of my favorite memories of elementary school was when my mom would send in my favorite cookie, or those extra yummy Pringles.  I want to share those kinds of simple moments with my kids too.[/quote]
