[quote=Anonymous]A few people upthread mentioned just wanting their kids to eat SOMETHING at snack. I totally understand how frustrating it is when kids don't eat what you send. Food waste is the worst. I portion out a crunchy snack (usually organic popcorn, or some thing from Annie's). For my kids lunchbox, I always include 2 different fresh things (could be 2 fruits, or 2 vegetables, or a fruit and a veg). If it comes home uneaten, I rinse it off, put it in the colander, and it appears at the dinner table as a side. It always gets eaten by that point, and nobody in my house as had food poisoning. I know this wouldn't work for all kids, but I got this idea from a neighbor, and it's been successful in our house. If my kid doesn't eat as much as the kids bringing Oreos, oh well. They're not starving.[/quote]
