[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am going to assume that the sandwich posters are just not posting.  My kids eat turkey (not processed) and cheese or PBJ (100% peanuts/100% fruit) on good quality bread..some fruit or veggies and something else.  That works for our family.[/quote]

My daughter is starting K in the fall.  [b]Is there no restriction on peanut butter in the elementary schools? [/b] There is at her preschool and I just assumed it would carry into elementary.  I'll be happy if it doesn't.[/quote]

Except for the allergic kids who are segregated and have to sit with random kids rather than their friends. I truly don't understand why people are so attached to their nut butters that they get so up in arms about the idea of being a nut free scho (like a lot of DCPS elementary schools are). We use for our lunch sunflower butter and golden pea butter with jelly. Kids love it and don't care that do t have peanut butter. [/quote]

One problem is that all of the sunbutters and pea butters have added sugar.  I can get the nut butters (peanut, cashew, etc) with just nuts and nothing else added.  (Of course, I don't get up in arms.  Our FCPS elementary is not "nut-free.")[/quote]

NP here - we use sun butter with no added sugar or salt. All it has are sunflower seeds. You need to stir it before the first use, but it's better than all the additives IMO.[/quote]
