[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I send my child to school everyday with a healthy and balanced lunch that is cooked 80% of the time. She does not need a snack as she gets one afterschool. I do send her with a little dessert for lunch every now and then ( Those flower cookies or mini- sponge cakes from Trader Joe’s or cinnamon twists that I made for her. I am a teacher too so I know what you mean. I have 4 kids in my 2nd grade class who come to school every morning with chips, candy and a Coke. I am dead serious. I do not say anything to them because it is not my place to shame them but when they asked if my kids drink Coke the answer is no as I don’t allow soda in my house along with cereal. [/quote] Yes, soda and breakfast cereal -- notoriously the same nutritional content. [/quote] Cereal is one of the biggest scams in the history of nutrition. It's nothing but sugar and simple carbs. Even if you buy one without added sugar, it's over-processed simple carbs that turn into glucose in your children's bloodstream super fast. Convenient? Yes. Good for them, especially if that's the entire breakfast? No. [/quote]
