[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school is also missing out on the incredible power of peer pressure to get kids to try/eat new healthy foods (ie the whole “French kids eat everything” argument). I get it at resource-strapped American public schools, but at this tuition price point they have the ability to do way better. The schools are just being cheap and lazy. [/quote]

Exactly! My kid does eat everything (except sweets... not our choice) and I felt like GDS would lead him away from that with their menu as well as introduce him to unhealthy habits.  Sure I get nuts aren't going to be the snack at any school because of nut allergies, but there are plenty of good whole food snack options... why are we throwing foods at them that we know don't feed their brain??[/quote]

Because otherwise they’d be throwing lots of uneaten food into the garbage can. [/quote]

They would probably throw a lot less lunch in the garbage if they weren’t feeding them goldfish all day…[/quote]

All day? The kids are eating goldfish all day long?[/quote]
