[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm actually the preschool teacher who sent this email I just wanted to get parent's perspective without mentioning I'm the teacher at first. I had one parent get really upset with me because her reasoning was well I'm the parent I should be able to decide what my own child can and can't eat as long as it's not due to allergy issues. I do understand her point but at the same time all of the sugar from the candy causes the kids to become very hyper and we are the ones who have to deal with the after math not the parents since we are with them immediately after lunch.

Yeah no this doesn't hold up. There's no difference in sugar content between a single fun-size Kit Kat and a pack of fruit snacks, which are very commonly packed in preschool lunches.  I don't think you have a leg to stand on here if your rationale is 'sugar high', OP.[/quote]

I thought the sugar /hyperactivity link was a myth and has never been demonstrated in scientific studies? [/quote]
