[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some parents appreciate that their child learns the importance of eating their main food first instead of those chocolate kisses sent in. Problem would be solved if you didn’t pack sweets in the first place. Maybe the parent should learn what a healthy lunch consists of and that their child will eat those red peppers and humus by watching their classmates eating healthy too and won’t even miss a “dessert”.[/quote]

Uh, excuse me, it's [i]baked oatmeal.[/i]

All high quality people understand that the baking process makes the sugars disappear. Humph. [/quote]

If her DD came in with a thermos of plain oatmeal, with cinnamon and sliced bananas on top, none of you would be screaming “omg don’t send cookies”. Those exact same ingredients put in the oven are suddenly an Oreo? This is why parents and not teachers decide what their children should eat. [/quote]

Those are not the “exact same ingredients” as an oatmeal cookie though. Baked oatmeal does not equal a cookie.

Oatmeal cookies have flour, baking soda, sugar, eggs, vanilla, butter…standard “cookie” ingredients. whereas plain oatmeal w some banana slices and some cinnamon sprinkled on top could be regular oatmeal or baked oatmeal but that is a totally different thing than a cookie and obviously much healthier.

Have you ever made cookies before? Have you ever made oatmeal? I’m guessing you also think eating a Rice Krispie treat is the same exact thing as eating a bowl of Rice Krispie cereal w milk? [/quote]

Actually they don’t. My daughter’s daycare had the kids make  oatmeal cookies during cooking week and the ingredients were
2 bananas
3/4 cup of oats 
Chopped strawberries and a dash of cinnamon

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Relevant to this thread is that they were labeled „cookies“ (not baked oats) :lol:

Poor kids.  Those are lousy cookies and, with the ratio of banana to oats, not that healthy.  They're easy to make, that's all there is to recommend them. [/quote]

OMG. I can't even....

It was a group of 3 and 4 year olds!! Yes, being easy to make is literally all there needs to be to recommend them.[/quote]

It was actually a group of 1-2 year olds so yes I would say easy to make is definitely the most salient feature here. Apparently a 2 year old showed my 15 month old daughter how to use a mallet to mash the banana.

Report from my daughter’s teacher is that my daughter ate them quickly and appeared to really enjoy them! Cookies were a hit! [/quote]
