I am not surprised that the principal was not surprised. One of my kids has allergies and Oreos were one of the few sweet treats that were safe. Kids whose moms never bought those kinds of treats were always begging to trade for them or for him to give the Oreos to them. Several times a year kids wouldnjust take them, sometimes directly from him and sometimes stealing them from his lunchbox.[/quote]

Do kids need sweets in their lunches? Never occurred to me to include sweets and my kids don't have allergies. Do people wonder why this country is so fat?[/quote]

Sure.

We have healthy attitudes towards food instead of crazy control issues. We are all thin and don't fret about weight issues. Food is meant to be enjoyed. An oreo or two in a school lunch never killed anyone. Neither does a fruit chew. We pack all kinds of things for lunch. One day it is a veggie wrap, the next day might be a lunchable. Very few foods are forbidden (besides the allergens) and everything in moderation. This is the way I was raised and everyone in my family is thin and healthy. This is tue way I raise my children.

Because an oreo is not forbidden, my kids don't obssess about them and will sometimes want one or sometimeswant a carrot.  They are sneaking treats, stealing from other kids' lunchboxes, hoarding food or begging their classmates to trade their kale for cookies.
