Well, we all know DCUM is in full support of the weird (mostly) Gen Y/Z obsession with their kids needing to cram something in their mouths every 60-90 minutes between meals, lest they wither and die on the vine.  :roll: [/quote]
Their kids probably weigh 200 lb from all the sandwiches and muffins these women shove in them every two hours.[/quote]

As a new parent the emphasis on snacks for everything shocked me. [b]When my kids started soccer at age 3 [/b]I could not understand why we had to provide juice and snacks after matches - not practice, but matches which seemed to be shorter. It was such an important thing to parents, they would get pissed if the snacks weren't "good" enough. The fields were filled with trash from the kids snacks. If you walk around the fields at any public school you'll see it. The whole match start to finish was less than 2 hours. No kid was dying or so depleted to need this. It is insane.

I felt the same about gd goody bags filled with plastic crap for every event in school. Why do parents not question this idiocy and refuse?[/quote]

What soccer league is this? My oldest is 8 and has done soccer in different leagues, etc since he was 3 and not once have we been asked to bring snacks.

I usually bring something for him if a game or practice is pushing up against a normal snack or meal time (my kids get an afternoon snack at a somewhat set time).  If the game or practice is around a snack or meal time it is disingenuous to say "oh no kid is dying by not having a snack over the course of two hours."  If he didn't eat for three or four hours before the game when he normally would then the fact that the game itself is two hours is not relevant[/quote]

Every single league - soccer, tball, baseball, football had snacks and drinks provided by a parent from a list maintained by a mom (sexist as hell) after games and matches. This is crazy and doesn't happen around the practices. [/quote]
