[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]

You better not hear a word? lol

A few things.

1. [b]Yes you may want to give your little darling candy or cookies in their lunch. Who deals with their sugar rush and crash that afternoon?[/b] THE TEACHERS.

2. Rules are rules. Thinking your child doesn't have to follow the rules EVERY other child follows is insanely entitled behavior.

And people need to stop being deliberately obtuse -[b] no junk food means no cookies, candy or chips[/b]. No we don't micromanage and check every food label because it is fairly obvious to us all what falls in the junk food category.

People like you are so incredibly irritating.  Maybe you start checking labels and them maybe you could get a clue. You actually believe that only cookies and candy have sugar when in fact the average lunch that I would bet you deem healthy is full of sugar and a cookie or piece of candy does not make any difference.  Examples of sugar - white bread (biggest offender) and if the bread is not whole grain its very high in sugar and carbs and no wheat bread and white wheat are full of sugar also, all fruits, applesauce even if unsweetend but most kids get the sweetened variety anyway, dressing or dips with carrots - carrots are high in sugar, and on and on...[/quote]
