[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you are being weirdly defensive about crackers when we are talking about Doritos and cookies.  Not everything is about you.

Also, just spitballing here but fruits/veggies that could easily make it 3-4 hours without an ice pack:

Apples
Bananas
Clementines
Grapes
Pears
Carrots
Peppers
Cucumbers
Grape tomatoes [/quote]

My kids don't actually get "snack time" at school but just remarking...I'm a perimenopausal woman who has to be much more concerned about managing weight than a kid, and if I am actually legit hungry and eat an apple or cucumbers for a snack, I'm...still hungry. I don't think that's enough for kids who are really hungry (although it's fine if they just want something to munch on). Sure, the ideal might be fruit or veg + protein, but it is so hard to get my kindergartener to eat ANY protein at all that I don't insist on it for after school snack. He will typically have a little fruit and some cheez its or even a small bowl of cereal if dinner will be late due to evening activities.

Anyway, my point is that it is also OK for kids to eat grains when they are hungry. [/quote]

Again, we are talking about cookies and Doritos and mini muffins. Not fruit and cheeze its. So calm down. [/quote]
