[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid goes to GDS and desserts are banned. I doubt they are giving out Oreos but if so it’s once a week. If you are happy at your school I wouldn’t leave over snack. One bag of goldfish just isn’t that big of a deal. The lunch menu has so many healthy options.[/quote]

My kid doesn't like sweet "desserts", but he will eat chips all day if you let him... That doesn't mean he is "healthier" if I let that happen... junk food doesn't need to look like it came from a pastry shop to be unhealthy and addictive...[/quote]

But they won’t let him eat chips all day is the whole point. It’s one serving passed out. If he’s super hungry at lunch there are healthy options. I can’t believe that people care this much about snack ha.[/quote]

If you take away parent choice (no packed snacks), you’ve implicitly taken on the role of setting the default habit. So the default should be closer to “everyday fuel” than “everyday treat.” To me, chips/goldfish/oreos/cheez its are a treat. so that’s something we noticed when choosing schools that made us uneasy.[/quote]
