[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what your asking is whether some foods are too expensive to share with a crowd of kids, and my response is "hell yes."  [b]If I'm baking a batch of cupcakes for school, I'm not going to use the expensive chocolate and other ingredients.[/b]  And if I'm having several families over for dinner, I'm also not going to make anything extremely pricey.  But I do want my child to have a sophisticated palette and will share expensive, good-quality food with him.  Although I just realized the other day that I've never bought us filet mignon - he's tasted it before, but I just can't buy him a $25 piece of meat that he'll eat in one sitting.[/quote]

This is why I want birthday food banned at our school.  I spent $50 to make healthy (real) cupcakes for one child's class because I figured at least once (though hopefully more), out of 24 times, they aren't eating partially hydrogenated junk.

Same with parties/playdates.  I've had a few friends snicker that I bought the "good" or "expensive" cookies, but it's the only thing I can do in good conscience.  [/quote]

It was your choice to spend $50 on class cupcakes (BTW, seriously??).  I hope you manage to keep your kid from eating "partially hydrogenated junk" throughout his life, but don't do it at the expense of the other kids and their fun.  I guess I'm trying to say: get the stick out of your ass and let your kid have some fun.[/quote]
