[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 Also, the packaged goods have a longer life.  I just don't think these short 1 hour sports need snacks every week.   I can understand if there is an end of season celebration, but as others have stated we don't need snacks after every practice.  Go home or bring something in your car for your own DC. [/quote]

+2. I don’t remember anyone ever bringing snacks to kids games or play dates when I was growing up. I remember one time when we had a pizza party in school. The only time there were tons of treats were birthday parties. You never used to see kids eating on the playground, they were too busy running around. My mom didn’t encourage snacking, she wanted us to eat proper sit down meals with the entire family. I’m a healthy weight, have no issues with food, never been on a diet, and don’t pack snacks for my kids. If they’re hungry, they can wait until we get home. I also don’t keep cookies and goldfish crackers or anything like that in my pantry because they have no nutritional value whatsoever. They can snack on berries, bananas with peanut butter, rice cakes with avocado slices if they want something savory or some carrot sticks and cucumber slices and bell peppers. If they don’t want that, then they’re not really hungry. We do pizza parties and cake and candy for birthdays or if we are on vacation. [/quote]
