[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you propose that parents force their kids to eat healthier food while at school?

Parents can pack healthy snacks (I did for years) but if the kids don't eat them (which also happened for years), you are left with hungry kids. So parents pack food that they know their kids will eat, so the kids eat.

Don’t buy garbage and they can’t eat garbage. This is not rocket science.

There is a direct correlation between the students that are focused and engaged and the students bringing healthy snacks. Yes I am a teacher (OP.)[/quote]

I brought candy every day for snack and I was focused and engaged enough that I ended up in a better job than teaching, so maybe stay in your place.[/quote]

I never needed snacks to stay alert in school (lunch is a must) and I believe that only some children biologically need snacks and lots of water at school.

America's snack culture is making most ofcultist. It starts with the relatively new infant processed food snack category. Hydration culture has become cultish.

I once had an argument at PTA with a 300 lb woman who was upset about the stopping of selling "healthier chips" as extra cost sides in the elementary lunch room. [/quote]
