[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you start down this path, then you'll end up with a lot of backlash.  Schools in Canada are policing the food that people bring from home!!

The examples in that article are pretty bad and the teachers need to be more flexible. But my previous job was at a school and this one (yes, overweight) child would have a big thermos of mac n cheese every single day. So there should be some basic guidelines. [/quote]

I volunteered in my kid’s class a lot last year and the stuff people brought for snacks, provided by parents, often wasn’t healthy. Muffins, fruit cups, jello,etc. even the “healthy” stuff was often sweet and laced with sugar, which would have them bouncing off the walls. That being said: I get it. You want your kid to eat, and sometimes you have to give in to the madness. My youngest went through a faze where she would only eat chicken nuggets, so we would either have to let her starve or feed her what she wanted. [/quote]

Yes, the "healthy" snacks often aren't healthy. Like those gogurt things full of sugar. [/quote]
