On a daily basis I have kids bringing for snack (not dessert):

This is terrible brain food. It makes them sleepy, unfocused and it’s terrible for their health too![/quote]

At our school they hand these out for breakfast- well not "cookies" but sweet muffins and pastries.  Plus juice or chocolate milk.  I agree it's terrible for the reasons you state but this is far from just a problem of poor parenting.[/quote]

This.  The school food is terrible.  Our school gives free breakfast and lunch to all kids.  Doesnt matter if you fed them something heathy at home.  If they arrive any school and want the chocolate mini muffins and cinnamon roll, they take it. Parents have zero control on whether their child consumes the school junk.  Teachers are always passing out cheap junk snacks and candy as well.  Same for lunch.  You can pack them heathy lunch, but they can decide they’d rather have them Bocsa cheese stuff breadsticks and grab those instead.  Schools provide so much junk food, for free. [/quote]
