[quote=Anonymous]You're uptight.  Sorry, but a few bites of *gasp* non-organic food aren't going to kill your baby.  One of the best things about a center-provided lunch, in my opinion, is that your kid is exposed to a wide variety of foods, and, because  other kids are eating that same food, is more likely to try it. If you want individualized menus, you need to send food that does not require any prep (meaning, it can be eaten cold, straight out of the container).  Or you need to find a daycare that requires all parents to send lunches.  Or you need to get a nanny.

At our center, parents send in food for their babies until the parents approve the babies eating the regular center menu.  Then, the only parents who send in food are those whose kids have allergies.  Otherwise, everyone eats the same thing, family-style.  There are no microwaves in the classrooms, so the teachers can't heat up anything other than bottles (they use a slow cooker on the lowest setting for that).  [/quote]
