[quote=Anonymous]Biggest culprit for us is school with the birthday treats every week, ice cream parties, etc.

As far as activities go, we haven’t noticed it nearly to the same extent. Snacks after soccer games seemed like a standard thing that no one seemed to think twice about, and the donuts after summer swim meets. But over the years we’ve also had kids in tennis, track, dance, team gymnastics, winter swim team, diving, musical theater, violin, cello, choir, and youth orchestra. I honestly cannot think of more than a handful of times where food was passed out with any of those. At that age, it was always snack time where it was something that each parent sent in with their kid, or kids packed for themselves later on. I think a teacher brought cookies to ballet class one time (stuck in my memory because it was so unexpected), and they always have a dessert table set up after the end of year music recitals but that’s easy enough to avoid. Maybe it’s the team sports where it’s more of a thing? [/quote]
