[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The PPs saying that brownies as a snack for 2 yo are totally fine have got to be trolls. Give me a break. No one thinks it's okay to give toddlers brownies as a regular "snack." As an occassional treat? Sure. In moderation. But come the fuck on, a brownie is not an appropriate snack. OP--if this is what they're serving your kid on a regular basis, I agree that you should send your own snacks and/or find a new daycare. [/quote]

I make my kid black bean brownies and I sure as heck do serve them as a daily snack. They have little sugar and lots of fiber and iron. If you serve healthy option, like say, a snack dressed up to look like a brownie that is actually a healthier option, then why not?[/quote]

[b]Because you're not doing your kids any favors by showing them that brownies and cookies are snacks. They don't know that the brownie at the bakery isn't a black bean brownie. As they get older, their memory is that they at brownies as snacks. Better to get them to like black beans on their own and not disguised in food. I get why you'd do this--especially if you have picky eaters who need nutrients they aren't getting on their own--but I don't think it's a great idea to dress a snack up like a treat. I don't know your situation, so you may need to do this to get your kids the nutrients they need, but in general, I disagree with this approach. [/b]
Also, to address the OP's original question,  I'm pretty sure her daycare isn't feeding them healthy, low-sugar, black bean brownies. [/quote]

My goodness you are uptight about food!  Are people actually like this in real life?[/quote]
