[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some asshat brought CUPCAKES (with brightly neon frosting) as a group snack to my kid's soccer game last weekend.  Please don't do that. [/quote]

Pretty sure you're the one who sounds like the asshat here.[/quote]

Nope.  It was obnoxious.  Several kids couldn't eat them because of food allergies and started crying.  [/quote]

My kid is in HS and there are no food allergies on his team of 22 kids. Parents provide dinner after games and it can be burritos, pizza, pasta, etc. No food problems. But you've got a team of maybe 10 where several kids (say 3-4) are allergic to cupcakes? Seriously, what has happened to kids in 1/2 a generation or less. Maybe by the time they get to HS the weaker kids have dropped out, or maybe they grow out of their allergies, or maybe there is really something wrong with feeding patterns that creates extreme food sensitivities.

The weaker kids?  WTH are you talking about?  Allergies have nothing to do with weakness.  You know that, you are just trying to goad people.

Kids who are allergic to nuts usually can't eat bakery items because of cross-contamination.  You seriously don't know this by now?  Plus lots of kids are allergic to eggs, milk, wheat - all of which are in cupcakes.  To say nothing of food dye.

This is not a birthday party.  It's an athletic event for 6 year olds, and it's lunchtime.  Neon cupcakes are just a ridiculous choice.

And by the way- pizza and pasta after a high school game has no relevance to cupcakes for elementary schoolers at noon on Saturday.  [/quote]
